Ipswich Town stepping up interest in AFC Bournemouth striker as Sunderland circle
Ipswich Town are stepping up their interest in AFC Bournemouth’s Kieffer Moore despite strong interest from Sunderland.
Ipswich Town and Sunderland have made loan offers for Kieffer Moore, but Bournemouth has not yet reached an agreement with either club.
Ipswich is stepping up their efforts to convince Moore to join the club before the transfer deadline.
If Ipswich can sign Moore, he could be the difference in their pursuit of a play-off spot or automatic promotion in the Championship.
Ipswich Town have signed a striker this January, with Ali Al-Hamadi joining the club from AFC Wimbledon, but are in search of another ahead of the deadline after losing George Hirst to injury recently.
The battle to sign AFC Bournemouth striker Kieffer Moore in January is going to be hotly contested, with sides such as Sunderland and Cardiff City in the race recently.
Kieffer Moore transfer interest
Going back to the summer transfer window, Moore was wanted by teams in the second division of English football. One of those main contenders to sign him were Cardiff, and they made no attempt to hide their interest, according to Wales Online.
However, Moore’s current club have played 20 games so far in the Premier League, during the 2023/24 campaign and he has has featured in just seven of them, and hasn’t started any for the Cherries this season, so a move away is likely.
Moore could depart the Vitality Stadium before tomorrow night’s deadline, according to Wales Online. However, Bournemouth are digging their heels in on their financial demands, with neither of Ipswich or Sunderland yet to overcome the obstacle of meeting their asking price for Moore.
According to Alan Nixon, Bournemouth would prefer to agree a permanent sale this month rather than a loan deal.
Darren Witcoop, the Sports News Editor for the Sunday Mirror, has said that up to seven second tier sides want to bring in the Welsh striker in January. As well as his former side, four other clubs are believed to be interested: Sunderland, Leeds United, Ipswich Town, and Norwich City, according to Witcoop.
The latest on a move to Ipswich for Kieffer Moore
It was reported recently that Ipswich Town and Sunderland have both made loan offers for Bournemouth’s Kieffer Moore, but neither club has reached an agreement with the Premier League side yet.
The Athletic revealed that the Cherries are looking for a better deal before they sanction the exit of the target man.
