Wickham is one of the brightest prospects outside the top flight and Liverpool, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur have all recently been linked with bids for the 17-year-old. However, after Wickham scored a hat-trick against Doncaster Rovers last week, Jewell outlined his hope that the England Under-21 international will stay at Portman Road. "Every player has a price, you ask Manchester United - Ronaldo went. Every player has his price, but I don't want to sell Connor Wickham," said Jewell. "To answer the question, I haven't had the opportunity to sell him because since I've been here, no one has enquired about him, certainly not that I know of anyway." Meanwhile, Jewell is hoping to complement the talents of Wickham next season by adding a proven goalscorer to the Ipswich squad. He told the club's official website: "If you look at QPR, Forest, Cardiff, they have all got goalscorers in their team, that player that can get you 25 goals a season. "I don't think this club has had a player like that for a while and they are not easy to find. They don't grow on trees. "If you have got a guaranteed goalscorer in your team it certainly gives you half a chance, certainly in the Championship, and they can often prove to be the difference. "It's very difficult to pick up a player like that during the season but that's certainly an area in which we would like to strengthen - along with a few others - for next year."
