Eddie Nketiah, a striker for Arsenal, was linked to an audacious move for Ipswich Town on Tuesday.
Ipswich Town is on its way to the Premier League, and as they prepare for their eagerly anticipated return to the highest level of football, they intend to make some bold additions.
There’s a good chance that one or more new strikers are on the radar. Earlier this week, speculations suggested that the cwere planning a big raid on Arsenal in hopes of signing Eddie Nketiah.
While it’s not entirely impossible, signing Nketiah would come with a high price tag in terms of salary and signing bonus. There would be fierce competition for him if the door did open for him to move on.
Ipswich Town would be wise to consider other possibilities in light of this. Here, we present three substitute options for Nketiah that the team ought to consider.
Che Adams from Southampton
Adams sees his contract at Southampton expire this summer so expect a number of Premier League clubs to be eyeing moves for him. He may move on regardless of how their season ends but if the Saints fall short in the play-offs, a move seems inevitable.
The Scot has been a danger in the top-flight before and that experience at the level will be of great value to Ipswich Town.
As a potential free transfer, Town can’t really go wrong if a move for Adams.
