Ipswich Town Learn Of £5 Million Asking Price For Key Target

According to reports last week, Ipswich Town is looking to add attacking players to their roster for the summer and has expressed interest in Zian Flemming, a star for Millwall.

Though they are still enjoying their promotion, the Tractor Boys are back in the top division for the first time since 2002. Behind the scenes, they are strengthening their team in preparation for their challenging battle to stay in the Premier League the following season.

After going from League One football to the Premier League in only a single year, Portman Road has grown to be a very alluring proposition for players. The Suffolk-based team is also expected to earn £150 million in their debut campaign back in the English Football League’s top division.

With this new discovered money, Ipswich Town will be able to move up the transfer ladder. This week, the South London Press made public the information that Kieran McKenna’s group is one of the suitors for Millwall star Flemming. The publication also says that the Lions are expecting offers for the Dutchman this summer, suggesting that they would be willing to let the 25-year-old go for the right deal.

An update on the transfer drama was given by journalist Alan Nixon, who said that the London firm is holding out for £5 million and will probably accept a bid from any interested parties should they reach this price.

Before Neil Harris was reinstated as head coach, Millwall spent most of the season fighting to avoid relegation. It was a challenging season for the team. Having scored nine goals and provided six assists throughout all competitions, the Dutch forward emerged as the team’s leading goalscorer and assist record. He might now be headed to Ipswich for the summer.

The Writer’s Perspective

Previous seasons have seen clubs promoted to the Premier League and shell out enormous sums of money in an attempt to survive.Just two instances of teams that gave it their all to avoid relegation are Burnley this season and Fulham in past seasons.

The recruiting team must exercise caution in the transfer market to prevent the squad from becoming overpriced and bloated because there is a potential that Ipswich Town may be relegated the following season. Flemming at under £5 million would be a wise addition, especially if the team is unable to re-sign Omari Hutchinson and Jeremy Sarmiento this summer.
