3 Eddie Nketiah alternatives Ipswich Town must eye amid ambitious Arsenal link

Eddie Nketiah, a striker for Arsenal, was linked to an audacious move for Ipswich Town on Tuesday.

Ipswich Town is on its way to the Premier League, and as they prepare for their eagerly anticipated return to the highest level of football, they intend to make some bold additions.

There’s a good chance that one or more new strikers are on the radar. Earlier this week, speculations suggested that the Tractor Boys were planning a big raid on Arsenal in hopes of signing Eddie Nketiah.

While it’s not entirely impossible, signing Nketiah would come with a high price tag in terms of salary and signing bonus. There would be fierce competition for him if the door did open for him to move on.

Ipswich Town would be wise to consider other possibilities in light of this. Here, we present three substitute options for Nketiah that the team ought to consider.

Che Adams from Southampton

Since Adams’ Southampton contract is set to expire this summer, several Premier League teams are likely to be interested in signing him. Regardless of how their season ends, he might go on, but if the Saints don’t make it out of the play-offs, it looks likely.

The Scot has a history of being a threat in the elite division, and Ipswich Town would greatly benefit from his expertise there.

Town can’t really go wrong if they make a play for Adams as a potential free transfer.

Nmecha Lukas of VfL Wolfsburg

Due to an injury-plagued campaign in Germany, Nmecha’s stock has declined. Ipswich Town should take advantage of this as he approaches the last year of his Wolfsburg contract by making a summer acquisition.

The former Manchester City prospect has demonstrated his abilities in Europe and is familiar with the English game. At Anderlecht, he scored 21 goals in 41 games, while with Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, he managed a decent 16 goals in 65 games.

Nmecha would work well under Kieran McKenna’s system because he is a formidable presence at the top of the pitch. He has also previously played as a second striker or out wide.

Kevin Denkey – Brugge Cercle

Kevin Denkey is an additional option to think about if Ipswich Town wants to cast their net a little further.

The striker, who has scored 27 goals in 36 games for Cercle Brugge, has had another successful season in Belgian football. He’s prepared for a more difficult test, and this summer might be the time he takes that step.

The 23-year-old is a potent striker as well, as evidenced by his 50 goals in 121 games. He also scores goals naturally.
