Ipswich Town manager Mick McCarthy admits that a "potential deal" is on the cards for Leon Best.

Ipswich Town manager Mick McCarthy has admitted that he is considering whether to sign former Newcastle United striker Leon Best.

The 29-year-old, who most recently played for Rotherham United, has been on trial with the Championship side in recent weeks with the hopes of landing a permanent deal.

McCarthy is thought to be in the market for a striker following the loss of David McGoldrick to an ankle injury.

"[Best] trained with us today and will train with us tomorrow," McCarthy told reporters at a press conference on Thursday. "There is a potential deal on the cards for him.

"He brings something different and if you consider Daryl Murphy has got two or three international breaks coming up, there's potential for [Murphy] to come back with a stress or a strain.

"Didzy (McGoldrick) is out until November, the next 10 to 12 weeks, so an extra bit of firepower won't do us any harm."

The Tractor Boys have also been considering a move for West Ham United prospect Martin Samuelsen but lost out on his services to Championship rivals Blackburn Rovers earlier today.
