Duncan Wright of The Sun has issued an update on Crystal Palace’s chances of signing Jordon Ibe.Earlier on deadline day, the same journalist broke an exclusive which revealed that the south Londoners had turned their attention to the Bournemouth winger after seemingly losing out to West Ham in the race to sign Jarrod Bowen from Hull City.
Jack Rosser of The Evening Standard also mentioned that the Cherries are ‘desperate’ to get rid of Ibe before the end of the transfer window.
However, Wright has now revealed on his Twitter account that he has been told any deal between Crystal Palace and Bournemouth seems ‘unlikely’.
The former Liverpool attacker has made just two Premier League appearances this season, while also embarking on two Carabao Cup outings – none of these showings have led to a goal involvement.
Who on earth is that?!?! Can you name all of these obscure January signings?
It means that, as things stand, Roy Hodgson has only welcomed one new face for the first-team through the door in Cenk Tosun, who joined on loan from Everton earlier in the month.
