Ipswich Town and Kieran McKenna are on the cusp of the Premier League, but with that comes the need for squad upgrades to ensure they can compete at the top level. Premier League life can be tough for those who are not prepared, and some players may struggle to handle the demands of the top flight.
One player who may be in question is Sam Morsy, a 32-year-old midfielder who played a pivotal role in the team’s promotion from the Championship, but may need to be replaced by a younger, Premier League-ready option.
Ben Sheaf of Coventry City is one such player who has caught the eye this season and could easily make the step up to the Premier League. Sheaf has been a standout performer not only for Coventry but for the entire Championship, showcasing his versatility in midfield and earning the title of “Premier League ready.”
As Ipswich prepares for their return to the Premier League after a swift rise from League One, upgrades in the squad will be crucial. One area McKenna may target for improvements is in defensive midfield, where Morsy and his midfield partner Massimo Luongo are both over 30 years old.
Bringing in a younger midfielder like Sheaf could provide the team with the energy and skill needed to compete in the Premier League for years to come. With Sheaf’s defensive contributions and composure on the ball, he could be a valuable asset for McKenna and Ipswich in the tough battles ahead.
While Morsy and Luongo have shown their quality and reliability in the team, the addition of a player like Sheaf could help take Ipswich to the next level and ensure they are competitive in the Premier League. McKenna’s interest in Sheaf shows his dedication to building a strong team, with an eye on the future success of the club.
