Ipswich Town: Reading and former Norwich City youngster Ayyuba Jambang arrives at Portman Road
Ipswich Town have completed the signing of a young defender from a League One side.
Ayyuba Jambang spent last season at Reading, having previously been with the Canaries’ youth set-up, and is now set to join the development side initially.
The move follows a trial last week where the 18-year-old played for the U21s in their 1-0 defeat to Fleetwood at Highbury.
The right-back is yet to make his mark in the professional game, with his minutes so far coming in academy football.

Ipswich Town complete signing of Ayyuba Jambang
After 12 months with the Royals, Jambang is on the move, with the player confirming on Instagram that he had made the switch to Portman Road.
“Delighted to finally get this over the line, as one chapter closes another opens , can’t wait to get started. Thank you to everyone at Reading Football Club for the past year.”
It’s no secret that the teenager had been on the radar of Ipswich, as he had featured for Ipswich’s U21 side in a game against Fleetwood last week, so the coaches have had the chance to assess Jambang close up, and they are clearly impressed by what he has to offer.
