Ricketts Hillsborough Link

Last updated : 16 August 2005 By Kevin Markey
Wednesday boss Paul Sturrock is keen to add another striker to his squad and may turn to the 26-year-old former England international after missing out on MK Dons' Clive Platt.

Sturrock turned his attention to Ricketts after a £100k bid for Platt was rejected.

However, Kevin Blackwell has rubbished reports linking anyone with moves away from Elland Road.

He insisted there had been no approach from Wednesday to take striker Ricketts on loan and that the club had not received a bid from Watford for midfielder Matthew Spring.

"There have been no approaches whatsoever for either of these players," said Blackwell.

"I can't understand these two rumours at all, there's absolutely no truth in them whatsoever."
