Fabrizio Romano: Ipswich Town have agreed a £20 million agreement to add another new star.
Ipswich Town plans to expand to their roster this summer by signing an exciting attacker.
Ipswich’s board and manager, Kieran McKenna, have worked tirelessly to improve their chances of surviving in the Premier League this summer. Their season hasn’t started well, with a loss to Liverpool last weekend, and it’s unlikely to improve when they travel to play Manchester City this weekend.
McKenna and Ipswich, on the other hand, will be looking forward to the ride, knowing that beating Liverpool and Manchester City will not guarantee their survival in the Premier League.
Ipswich transfer news
Given that Ipswich were in League One two seasons ago, it’s not surprising that the club is making significant changes to its playing group as they prepare for the next season. McKenna’s team has been brilliant in recent seasons, dominating League One and then the Championship, but the Ipswich manager will understand that more talent and experience are required if they are to remain in the top level.
As a result, the team has been quite active bringing in new players, having signed nine in this transfer window alone. Some of the newcomers are Omari Hutchinson, Liam Delap, Jacob Greaves, Sammie Szmodics, and Kalvin Phillips.
| Ipswich Town’s summer signings | Signed from |
|---|---|
| Omari Hutchinson | Chelsea |
| Jacob Greaves | Hull City |
| Liam Delap | Manchester City |
| Arijanet Muric | Burnley |
| Conor Townsend | West Brom |
| Ben Johnson | West Ham |
| Kalvin Phillips | Man City (Loan) |
| Sammie Szmodics | Blackburn Rovers |
| Jens Cajuste | Napoli (Loan) |
Ipswich have agreed to acquire Chelsea striker Armando Broja, according to reports earlier this week. The attacker is regarded unwanted at Stamford Bridge and has been practicing with the club’s under-21 squad. He spent the second part of last season on loan at Fulham, but it was not a fruitful time.
Ipswich Town plans to sign Jack Clarke.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Ipswich have agreed to acquire Sunderland winger Jack Clarke. According to the Italian transfer expert, the transaction has reached the “here we go” stage, with the sum estimated to be about £20 million.
Romano goes on to say that Sunderland has acquired a sell-on clause as part of the agreement that will see Clarke go to Portman Road. The 23-year-old has been with the Black Cats on a permanent basis since July 2022, having joined from Tottenham Hotspur, but he also spent the second part of the 2021/22 season on loan at the Stadium of Light.
Clarke has 114 appearances for the Championship side, scoring 28 goals and assisting 23 more. He has already played twice for the club this season in the league, scoring one goal and providing one assist.
Adrian Clarke recently described the winger as “unplayable” on the What the EFL?! Podcast, after receiving several accolades throughout his Championship career.
