Ipswich Town are on the brink of finalizing another signing as manager Kieran McKenna aims to strengthen his team at Portman Road.
Despite starting their Premier League campaign with a 2-0 loss to Liverpool at home, McKenna is pleased with some aspects of their performance and continues to pursue new recruits.
After securing deals for Sammie Szmodics, Kalvin Phillips, and Napoli midfielder Jens Cajuste on loan, Ipswich now have another potential loan signing in the works to boost their attacking options.
Reports suggest that Chelsea’s Armando Broja is set to join Ipswich on loan, with an announcement expected within the next 24 hours. The 22-year-old forward, who recently spent time on loan at Fulham, is looking for first-team opportunities after returning to Chelsea.
The move to Ipswich would see Broja following the footsteps of Omari Hutchinson, who made a permanent switch from Chelsea to Ipswich earlier in the summer.
This potential deal may come as a disappointment to Everton, who were also interested in Broja but were put off by the high asking price. With Chelsea preferring a loan move, Ipswich has emerged as the preferred destination for the promising forward.
With Broja’s talent and goal-scoring abilities, Ipswich will be hoping to benefit from his skills on the pitch while Everton will need to explore other options in their search for attacking reinforcements.
