Ipswich Town aims for several summer signings to bolster their fight against relegation.
Ipswich Town is an attractive destination for footballers this summer, offering the chance to be part of an incredible success story if they manage to secure Premier League survival. Kieran McKenna’s decision to stay on as manager, despite speculation about his future, will likely entice new talent to join the team under the guidance of a two-time promotion-winning coach.
This stability might also encourage many of Ipswich’s recent loan players to stay permanently rather than return to their parent clubs. The club is already making moves to secure Omari Hutchinson and is considering another significant transfer.
According to Sussex World, Ipswich is not only interested in Brighton and Hove Albion goalkeeper Carl Rushworth but also aims to re-sign loan star Jeremy Sarmiento. The uncertain managerial situation at Brighton has delayed dealings, but Ipswich hopes to accelerate talks once a new manager is appointed.
Sarmiento would likely welcome a return to Portman Road. McKenna highly valued his contributions during his January loan spell, which played a crucial role in Ipswich’s dramatic promotion to the Premier League. Securing both Sarmiento and Hutchinson on permanent deals would significantly boost Ipswich’s chances of staying up, as both were vital to the club’s unexpected rise.
Sarmiento impressed at Ipswich, showcasing his hard-working nature and delivering crucial performances. His standout moment was a last-minute winner against Southampton in April, highlighting his impact in key moments. He ended the season with four goals and two assists in 22 games, doubling his goal tally from his time at West Bromwich Albion.

Both Sarmiento and Hutchinson are versatile and dangerous forward players, capable of playing on either wing or as a number ten. Their return to Ipswich in the Premier League could surprise many defenses with their skill and direct attacking style.
Re-signing Sarmiento and Hutchinson would be stellar business for Ipswich as they aim to defy expectations and secure their place in the Premier League.
