It looks like Ipswich will not be signing Hayden Hackney from Middlesbrough after all. The midfielder had been heavily linked throughout the window, but the deal is now dead in the water. Reasons for the collapse remain unclear, though it marks a blow to Ipswich's plans to bolster their squad. This move is off for now, though speculation continues around Hayden Hackney, who has also been linked with Fulham, Wolves and West Ham. So far this season, Ipswich are steady at both ends (1.88 goals scored per game, 1.0 goals conceded per game). The role for Hayden Hackney would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. There are currently no rumoured links for either Middlesbrough or Ipswich.
