Ipswich Town is eager to strengthen their team this summer in preparation for the challenging task of surviving in the Premier League after earning promotion this season.
Ipswich Town has made a significant move in the transfer market by securing Kieran McKenna on a new four-year contract, extending his tenure at Portman Road until at least 2028. McKenna’s guidance has propelled the Suffolk-based club to back-to-back promotions, a remarkable achievement not seen since Southampton’s feat in 2012.
The club’s elevation to the Premier League promises substantial financial rewards, with projections suggesting a potential windfall of £150 million for just one season in the top-flight. This is a significant leap from the £37 million earned during Ipswich’s previous Premier League stint over two decades ago.
With newfound financial resources, Ipswich Town now has the opportunity to bolster its squad during the summer transfer window. Among the potential targets is Brighton and Hove Albion goalkeeper Carl Rushworth, with the Tractor Boys closely monitoring his situation. Additionally, there is interest in bringing Jeremy Sarmiento back to the club after his loan spells, with the combined market value of both players estimated at £6.4 million.
As the summer transfer window approaches, Ipswich Town has already drawn up a list of prospective signings. Rushworth and Sarmiento join a list of targets the club aims to pursue in the coming weeks. While Sarmiento made notable contributions throughout the season, securing Omari Hutchinson on another loan from Chelsea could prove to be a more sensible move, particularly considering his impactful performances during his previous loan spell.
