Ipswich Town head coach Kieran McKenna insists the door remains open for the possible signing of Bristol City midfielder Tyreeq Bakinson, despite Nigel Pearson’s claims to the contrary last week.
Bakinson has not joined the City squad on their pre-season tour to the Alps and has been exiled to train with the Under-23s as he’s not part of Pearson’s plans moving forward following an acrimonious split at the start of the year when he decided to join Ipswich on loan.
Speaking on Friday, Pearson said that Ipswich had declined to take up their option to make the 23-year-old’s loan move into a permanent and City were now searching for “solutions” as to how to move Bakinson on before the end of the window.
