EXCLUSIVE: Ipswich town’s have reached an agreement to sign 22 years talented striker to replace…
Ipswich Town won’t want to completely lose their identity heading up to the Premier League, with the Tractor Boys an absolute joy to watch last season in full flow.
The likes of Leif Davis were unstoppable at points for Kieran McKenna’s men marauding forward, helping himself to a staggering assist haul of 21 in total, but the Suffolk outfit will know that the step-up in quality means they’ll have to be tougher at the back.
Ipswich were a leaky side last campaign despite their promotion heroics, conceding 16 more goals than Championship title-winners Leicester across the 46-game season, and that could be why they’re being linked with a number of new defensive recruits.
Ipswich looking at 6 foot 1 rock
According to football journalist Graeme Bailey, Ipswich Town are considering signing former loanee Cameron Carter-Vickers this summer but will face stern competition to land his services.
The 6 foot 1 centre-back, who is currently on the books at Celtic as a key cog under Brendan Rodgers, is also being eyed up by London-based duo West Ham United and Fulham this transfer window, as per Bailey, with the Scottish side adamant that they will aim to keep hold of their star 26-year-old despite all this interest heating up.
This could mean Ipswich are now hunting the signature of Carter-Vickers down over exploring a deal for Joe Rodon, who they have also been heavily linked with this transfer window, as McKenna tries to strengthen his side’s porous defence ahead of their voyage up to the Premier League.
Opening the season now facing off against Liverpool and Manchester City will no doubt leave those at Portman Road anxious about how many goals they could potentially ship, with Carter-Vickers’ signature likely to shore up the Tractor Boys at the back, to try and keep their heads above water in the top-flight.
