Hi all,

I find myself blocked and need some help. Here's the English version
of the sentence I'm trying to write:

... (he) said (he) wanted to buy a new umbrella.

so far, only way I've found is:

あたらしいかさおかいたいといいました
atarashii kasa o kaitai to iimashita

So, is there a way to say "want to do something" + indirect speech?

I'd be interested to know what the native speakers have to say. But my
guess:

新しい傘を買いたいそうです。
あたらしい　かざ　を　かいたい　そう　です。
