Big Hirst upgrade: McKenna could land “deadly” £80k-p/w star at Ipswich

As the Tractor Boys try everything to keep their skin in the Premier League, Ipswich Town has been incredibly busy this transfer window thus far.

Jaden Philogene-Bidace, Ben Godfrey, and Julio Enciso are the three new hires who have entered the building, and more newcomers are anticipated to arrive before Monday’s deadline.

Between now and then, Ipswich may try to increase their striker count because the Suffolk team has depth up top outside of star Liam Delap.

Since Ali Al-Hamadi is currently out on loan at Stoke City until the end of the season, the relegation-threatened team really only has George Hirst in reserve in case Delap has a rare bad day.

Hirst isn’t exactly playing at his best since Al-Hamadi’s January departure, and McKenna is also rather concerned about the 25-year-old’s injury history.

The 25-year-old, who scored seven goals last season as a consistent supplier of goals under stressful situations, has only one goal to his name this time around up a league, and he has already missed 12 games due to injury.

He cannot, therefore, be the only option up top aside from Delap, who has a brilliant eight goals on his Premier League resume but has demonstrated in recent games that he is not always a lethal machine, especially when playing against some of the better teams in the league.

Following this, McKenna may be looking for new players in the striker department as Ipswich is reportedly pursuing his former top-flight star. According to a report earlier this week by the Turkish publication Milliyet, Ipswich reportedly tried to sign Michy Batshuayi, a center-forward for Galatasaray. West Ham United is also reportedly interested in the former Chelsea player, and more information indicates that bids of approximately £4.1 million have been made by the top-flight clubs in an attempt to sign the Belgian.
