It’s been a busy month for Ipswich Town as they gear up for their return to the Championship.
Ipswich Town were relegated from the Championship in 2019. It’s been a tough road since, but the Tractor Boys are returning to the Championship with a newfound optimism and a newfound philosophy in the transfer market.
Kieran McKenna has put together a very decent side and many are backing Ipswich to perform well next season. And this month has seen them bring in the likes of Cieran Slicker and George Hirst on permanent deals, with Omari Hutchinson joining on loan – Jack Taylor signed last month.
Elsewhere, names like Joe Pigott have left, whilst Panutche Camara has joined Charlton Athletic on loan for the 2023/24 campaign.
But there’s also been some names who have been linked but haven’t joined as of yet, with one name linked at the start of the month being Craig Cathcart. Darren Witcoop revealed that Ipswich were one of the teams interested in Cathcart, who remains a free agent following his Watford release at the end of last season.
Another centre-back linked with Ipswich Town this month is Arsenal’s Auston Trusty. He impressed on loan at Birmingham City last time round but it seems like Rangers are pushing hardest to sign the USMNT defender as things stand, so a move for Trusty doesn’t look like a huge priority for Ipswich right now.
Elsewhere, Jesurun Rak-Sakyi continues to be linked with a move to Portman Road and Ipswich remain front-runners for his signature ahead of next season. Palace though are said to be holding off on sending him out on loan for the time being, so expect to see Rak-Sakyi’s name in headlines closer towards the end of the summer transfer window.
Lastly, Alan Nixon revealed on his Patreon account yesterday that Ipswich Town are among the clubs chasing a deal for Jack Colback. The experienced
Ipswich have had a relatively quiet yet astute summer transfer window thus far. It appears like some of their best transfer business is yet to come, but McKenna doesn’t need to make too many major changes ahead of next season, since Ipswich currently has a very strong team.
