Ipswich Town have reportedly agreed a deal to sign a former Liverpool player ahead of their Premier League opener next weekend.
Ipswich Town’s summer business
The Tractor Boys managed to keep hold of manager Kieran McKenna earlier in the summer and have made a number of new signings during the transfer market. The club have spent more than £60m and have also moved on a number of players from last season with weeks remaining of the window.
| Ipswich Town summer signings | From | Fee (Transfermarkt) |
|---|---|---|
| Omari Hutchinson | Chelsea | €23.5m |
| Jacob Greaves | Hull City | €21.5m |
| Liam Delap | Manchester City | €17.85m |
| Arijanet Muric | Burnley | €9.55m |
| Conor Townsend | West Brom | €590,000 |
| Ben Johnson | West Ham | Free transfer |
McKenna is currently preparing his side for the first game of the season at home to Liverpool, however, behind the scenes, work is still ongoing in regards to further additions.
Recently, the club have been linked with a move for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Oliver Skipp, however, fellow promoted sides Leicester City and Southampton are also showing an interest.
Elsewhere, Ipswich have made contact over the potential signing of Napoli midfielder Jean Cajuste, although reports do not state whether the approach has been made with the player, the Serie A club or both parties.
However, Ipswich appear to be making progress over another deal with a club abroad, with a fee now agreed.
Ipswich Town agree fee to sign Ryan Kent
According to reports in Turkey, Ipswich have had an offer worth €3m (£2.5m) accepted to sign Fenerbahce winger Ryan Kent. Jose Mourinho has given the green light for Kent to leave, and it is claimed that the club have handed Kent permission to speak with Ipswich.
Should personal terms be agreed, the winger will head to England in the coming days, with Ipswich on course to beat Leeds United to a deal after the Whites were linked with a move of their own in recent weeks.
