Ipswich Town Football Club is focusing on off-pitch activities amid the intense Championship promotion race. They may be considering completing some business deals or negotiations unrelated to the on-field action to strengthen the club’s overall position.
It seems Ipswich Town is in a strong position in the Championship and is on track for historic back-to-back promotions to reach the Premier League. However, the competition is tight, with only two points separating Ipswich from third-place Leicester City, who have a game in hand. With six games left, it’s expected to be a challenging but exciting run-in for Kieran McKenna’s side, as every match will be crucial in securing promotion.
According to Mike McGrath and John Percy of The Telegraph, Ipswich are now eyeing a move to sign Seny Dieng from Middlesbrough alongside both Newcastle United and Crystal Palace. Boro reportedly want to secure a deal worth double the £2m fee that they paid out to sign the goalkeeper from Queens Park Rangers last year.
After an impressive campaign in the Championship, the Senegal international looks set to have a decision to make this summer. As for Ipswich, there would arguably be few better ways to potentially announce themselves in the Premier League than by beating the likes of Newcastle to a key summer signing. The shot-stopper is certainly one to watch in the forthcoming window.
