"If the Boro midfielder Hayden Hackney agreed personal terms he could join the Suffolk club, freshly relegated and awash with ready funds, for a Championship record fee of around 20m."
"Hackney has missed the past four games with a calf injury and it is unclear whether he will be ready in time for a game of potentially seismic consequence."
"Ipswich had gone into that game after winning at bitter rivals Norwich for the first time in 20 years; it meant 10 points from their final six matches would secure their return to the elite."
Ipswich and Middlesbrough reached an agreement for midfielder Hayden Hackney, but he declined the transfer. Hackney's absence due to injury has affected Middlesbrough's performance, causing them to drop to fifth place. Ipswich, currently in second, needs to secure points to maintain their promotion hopes. A recent defeat against Portsmouth has added pressure on Ipswich, despite their earlier success against rivals Norwich. The season has been unpredictable for Ipswich, compounded by external controversies that have threatened their focus.
