David Ornstein claims that Ipswich Town is interested in acquiring a top-tier World Cup defender for £3.5 million.
Following back-to-back promotions from League One under Kieran McKenna, the Tractor Boys have been making every effort to defy the trend and stay in the Premier League.
However, despite a brace by Jaden Philogene, Ipswich’s most recent 3-2 loss to 10-player Manchester United at Old Trafford puts them in one of the three relegation spots, along with Leicester City and Southampton.
However, Ipswich’s management has supported McKenna in both the summer and January transfer windows, spending a lot of money and acquiring a number of new players.
As Ipswich looks to bolster their defensive ranks, a new target has surfaced, and attention now seems to be on the summer window.
According to Ornstein, Ipswich Town want to sign a defender for £3.5 million.
Ipswich Town is eager to buy Celtic defender Alistair Johnston, joining Premier League rivals Fulham in the bidding process, according to trustworthy transfer reporter Ornstein of The Athletic, who was cited by The Celtic Way.
“I am aware that English clubs are taking notice of Celtic right-back Alistair Johnston, and Fulham is one of his admirers. Although there was strong interest in January, the Canada international recently signed a new contract at Parkhead and isn’t believed to be dissatisfied. I’ve heard that in addition to Fulham, Ipswich and others are observing him.
It should come as no surprise that Johnston was included on the Best FIFA Men’s XI longlist last year, and I anticipate that more suitors will surface from the Premier League and throughout Europe.
Rodgers-Postecoglou-Johnston Celtic Rangers Premiership After joining Celtic in January 2023 for an initial £3.5 million, Johnston has flourished at Parkhead, and his Transfermarkt worth is currently at a career high of €9 million.
Johnston, a Canadian international who has played in the World Cup, is a right-back by trade but can also play as a center-back or right midfielder.
