Ipswich eyeing “hard-working” Hutchinson partner who’s perfect for McKenna
Ipswich Town will hope plenty of summer signings come through the door to help in the battle against relegation.
Ipswich Town is very much an attractive location for any prospective footballer to join this summer, able to come in and potentially bask in the unbelievable success story even more, if survival is clinched come the end of the daunting Premier League season.
Kieran McKenna sticking it out as Tractor Boys boss, after a lot of speculation made his future look precarious, will also mean many a new face will want to walk through the door and play under the two-time promotion-winning manager.
This could also result in many of the loan members of Ipswich’s recent automatic promotion-winning squad wanting to stay put permanently in Suffolk instead of returning to their parent employers, with the wheels already in motion over a deal for Omari Hutchinson, alongside another transfer being pondered about.
Ipswich looking at signing loan star permanently
According to a recent report in Sussex World, alongside having a keen interest in Brighton and Hove Albion goalkeeper Carl Rushworth, the Tractor Boys will attempt to raid the Seagulls further by swooping in to steal back loan star Jeremy Sarmiento.
The uncertain managerial situation on the South Coast means any dealings are on hold between Ipswich and Brighton, with a view to speeding up proceedings when the Seagulls finally get around to appointing a Roberto De Zerbi successor.
Sarmiento certainly wouldn’t turn his nose up to a potential return to Portman Road this summer, with McKenna loving his January loan buy from the minute he walked in, who delivered the goods in key moments for his underdogs to seal a dramatic move up to the Premier League.
Signing both the South American attacker, and getting a permanent deal over the line for Hutchinson, would increase Ipswich’s chances of staying up significantly no doubt, having both been vital last campaign to the unexpected further rise of the club.
