Ipswich Town is preparing to strengthen their squad this summer to face the challenging task of maintaining their Premier League status following their recent promotion.
The club has made a significant move by extending Kieran McKenna’s contract for four years, securing his leadership until at least 2028. McKenna has successfully led Ipswich to consecutive promotions, making them the first team since Southampton in 2012 to achieve this feat.
This promotion has brought financial benefits, with football finance expert Kieran Maguire estimating that the club could earn £150 million for a single season in the Premier League, compared to the £37 million they earned over two decades ago.
Ipswich Town is now looking to enhance their squad, with several targets identified, including Brighton and Hove Albion goalkeeper Carl Rushworth. Darren Witcoop reports that Ipswich is monitoring Rushworth’s situation, waiting to see if Brighton will allow him to leave.
Additionally, Sussex World reports that Ipswich is interested in re-signing Jeremy Sarmiento, who spent part of the last season on loan with them and the first half at West Bromwich Albion. These two players have a combined market value of £6.4 million according to Transfermarkt.
From the writer’s perspective, as the transfer window opens next Friday, Ipswich has a list of potential signings, including Rushworth and Sarmiento. While Sarmiento scored crucial goals, he wasn’t a regular starter, making it more strategic for Ipswich to secure another loan for Omari Hutchinson from Chelsea.
