Reports say Ipswichtown is currently interested in signing a “absolutely insane” midfielder.
Ipswich’s summer transfer plan is being shaped
Unknown, Ipswich is no longer able to avoid relegation in his first season in the Premier League.
So Kieran McKenna could be tasked with building a team that can make another championship promotion push next season, with Peterborough United forward Kwamepok enjoying an impressive campaign with Posh.
McKenna has big questions about the future of striker Liam Dellup, who links with the Premier League club host, but Jaden Filigen may have to sell too.

Kieran McKenna wants to return the planet to the Ipswich town ranks.
Besiktas lined up the moves of Filigen, brought in for £20 million from Aston Villa during the January transfer period, but Winger’s arrival did little to alleviate the fear of relegation.
Ipswich may need to close out some important deviations this summer, but their own transfer plans are also in shape, revealing that reports from catch-offside are interested in signing Liverpool midfielder Wataru end.
The end falls to a pecking order at Anfield. That means he’s ready to move this summer, and the Reds could be more open to bids than they did in the past.
AC Milan, Celtic, Fulham and the Wolf are also interested in midfielders, so there could be a tough competition for his signature. ArneSlot’s side is willing to consider offerings ranging from around 15 million euros to 20 million euros (£13 million – £17 million).
“Insane” ending could be a great addition for Ipswich
Ipswich’s hope of avoiding drops appears to be declining. This could make it difficult to attract quality players this summer, but there are signs that he will be a great signature if he can seduce Japan International into movement.
The Yokohama-born midfielder has been used mostly as utility players for Liverpool, but has been working very well with the midfielder’s key metrics over the past year.

Jurgen Klopp is the man who brought the central midfielder to England and he was very impressed with some of the Reds’ performances and said: “I’m not sure if people think it’s spectacular or anything, but the forward pass he played tonight was absolutely incredible.
“And how often he broke the line on the first touch. It was absolutely sane.”
The former Stuttgart man has played such a sporadic role this season, so it’s obvious to see why he’s about to leave this summer, but Ipswich may find it difficult to win the race amidst the interests of rivals like AC Milan and Celt.
