Ipswich Town are leading the race for yet another talent as they look to continue their lavish spending this summer in the final days of the transfer window.
Ipswich Town’s busy summer continues
Kieran McKenna’s side fell to a Premier League opening day defeat to Liverpool but showed glimpses of promise and are still waiting on a whole host of new faces to make their mark at Portman Road.
Jens Cajuste watched on from the stands before signing a deal to join the club on loan from Napoli, while fellow loanee Kalvin Phillips was on the substitutes bench for the defeat.
Two more new signings, Sammie Szmodics and Ben Johnson, were introduced for their debuts in the second half and business is not set to stop there.

The Tractor Boys have agreed a deal to sign Armando Broja on loan from Chelsea, in a deal that includes an obligation to buy the Albanian for £30m at the end of the season should they avoid relegation back to the Championship, a feat that none of last season’s promoted clubs achieved.
Meanwhile, they are also keen on signing Sunderland winger Jack Clarke, who has attracted attention from clubs across England’s top two divisions. Ipswich are understood to have submitted an offer worth £15m plus future add-ons to sign the ex-Tottenham winger in a move that would take their summer spending north of £80m.
And there is still more to come.

Now, it has been claimed that Ipswich Town are leading the race to sign Sheffield United centre-back Anel Ahmedhodzic as they look to bolster their backline.
Despite starting the season with the Blades, it is expected that the Bosnian will depart Bramall Lane, with Ahmedhodzic having just two years left to run on his £30,000-a-week deal at Bramall Lane, and no shortage of interest.
