FLASH> Ipswich town head coach bids farewell to team as he is set to take over…

According to Ed Aarons, the Seagulls are likely to try and tempt the Northern Irishman with a move to the Amex Stadium.

Roberto de Zerbi confirmed his departure from the Premier League side last weekend, leading to increased speculation over McKenna’s Portman Road future.

The 38-year-old has earned a lot of praise for his work with the Suffolk outfit, guiding them to back-to-back promotions from League One to the top flight.

Ipswich are preparing for their first top flight campaign since 2002, having come second in their first year back in the Championship.

Carlton Palmer makes Kieran McKenna future prediction

Carlton Palmer has claimed that McKenna will only consider a move away from the Tractor Boys if it is to move to one of the top clubs in the country, such as Liverpool or Manchester United.

He believes that the switch to Brighton will not tempt McKenna given the backing he has received from the owners at Ipswich.

“It’s believed Brighton are set to make an approach to Ipswich Town for Kieran McKenna to replace the departing de Zerbi,” Palmer told Football League World.

“Like I’ve said before, I don’t see Kieran McKenna leaving Ipswich Town to go to Brighton, no disrespect.

“Kieran McKenna’s done a fantastic job, back-to-back promotions, he’s in the Premier League, his owners are very wealthy, they’ve backed him, they’ve supported him.

“I think they’ll continue to support him, continue to back him, so I really can’t see him leaving unless he gets a top job and it seems the Liverpool job is gone now.
