  ... Scowcroft will sign tommorow (30/06/01)  
 

Leicester have called a press conference for tomorrow (Tuesday) morning at 11am where they will announce the signing of Ipswich striker James Scowcroft.

Scowcroft finally agreed personal terms today after having a meeting with City boss Peter Taylor. Although the fee is undisclosed it is thought that Ipswich will have wanted at least £3 Million for their 25 year old striker.

This all means that Scowcroft could make his debut in a City shirt as early as tomorrow night when City take on Stoke in a friendly.

Peter Taylor talked about the deal to reporters saying, "Once we agreed the fee with Ipswich the deal was done pretty quickly.

"We've spoken to James today and he's very keen on coming here. He's just the player we're after and he will undoubtedly strengthen us up front."

The signing represents a personal achievement for Peter Taylor who has been trying to get Scowcrofts signature for sometime but was foiled several times in his attempts. Just when the deal looked dead an buried though it seems that Taylor has finally got it together.

Whether it will make up for not signing John Hartson though remains to be seen.

So Taylor has finally got his man. But is he the one YOU want? Tell us in the Fans Forum.
