Dale loan Ipswich Winger & Sassi To Return?

A busy Transfer Deadline Day for Premier League and EFL clubs has seen plenty of movement and we're involved in it as well.

Dale have moved to bring in another winger in the form of 19-year-old Leon Ayinde from Premier League new boys (and Tractor Boys), Ipswich Town.

The youngster joined Ipswich from Cork City in Ireland and has represented Ireland at U17 level and played plenty for Ipswich U21 side last season.

Also potentially joining Dale is Dan Sassi from Blackpool. The 20-year-old centre back was on loan last season at Dale from the Seasiders and it looks like he may be joining back up with Jim McNulty's squad according to FootyInsider who reliable Twitter ITK Pete O'Rourke writes for:
