Peterborough And Wigan Scrap For Ipswich Target | OneFootball

Peterborough United and Wigan Athletic are battling for Altrincham attacker Chris Conn-Clarke, according to journalist Alan Nixon, amid the player also being on Ipswich Town’s radar.

Wigan are looking to spend cash to strengthen this summer as they eye pushing for promotion from League One next term.

Peterborough are renowned for their eye for non-league talent and believe Conn-Clarke could be their next big thing.

A £250,000 fee has been mooted as possible for the Altrincham man.

It remains to be seen if Premier League new boys Ipswich will go in with an offer, while Portsmouth have also been linked with Conn-Clarke.
