Ipswich Town won’t be short of offers for 11-goal striker: View
Gassan Ahadme has proven his worth as an EFL striker, and will be spoilt for choice if he leaves Portman Road this summer
Ipswich Town face tough decisions as they return to the Premier League after over 20 years, with some players set to depart.
Gassan Ahadme may be one to leave, with impressive performances at Cambridge United sparking interest from multiple clubs in the lower tiers.
With one year left on his Portman Road contract, the striker’s future is uncertain, but his goal-scoring record makes him a valuable asset.
As Ipswich Town prepare for life back in the Premier League, hard decisions will have to be made about a number of players’ futures at the club.
Kieran McKenna led the Tractor Boys back to the top flight for the first time in over 20 years and some players on the books at Portman Road were left to enjoy the success from afar, having not played a part in the promotion campaign.
With reinforcements going to be needed as the Suffolk side go toe-to-toe with the best that the country has to offer, those on the fringes of the current squad will be saying their goodbyes as they head to pastures new.
One of those will more than likely be Gassan Ahadme, although the striker will be a player in demand after his most recent campaign in League One with Cambridge United.
Gassan Ahadme EFL career: Burton Albion, Ipswich Town, Cambridge United
Ahadme was brought to East Anglia in the summer of 2022, after impressing for fellow League One side Burton Albion in the second half of the previous season.
The striker failed to make an impact at Portman Road though, with six substitute appearances in the league before returning to the Pirelli Stadium on loan for the remainder of the campaign.
With Town achieving promotion from the third tier, the Moroccan’s chances of game time with his parent club were becoming all the more limited; leaving him no choice but to face another temporary spell away from the club for the 23/24 campaign.
The destination of choice was Cambridge United, and it was at The Abbey that the striker has finally begun to prove his outstanding quality at the level, with his eleven goals helping the U’s to stay in the division for another season.
Whether it was with his head or with his feet, the frontman claimed some crucial goals for the Amber Army, including a run of six goals in five games before the Christmas period.
Had he not suffered a foot injury over the festive period that ruled him out for three months, United’s plight could have been a lot easier in League One, with his goals proving pivotal to their eventual survival.
