Ipswich Town made a significant signing in the form of Azor Matusiwa from Rennes this summer. The Uruguayan international expressed his strong desire to move to Ipswich after a conversation with coach Kieran McKenna, despite the challenges of relocating his young family to a new country.
Matusiwa highlighted the impact of his discussion with McKenna, stating that he immediately felt a connection with the club and was determined to make the transfer happen. He appreciated the efforts of both clubs and himself in finalizing the deal, allowing him the opportunity to play for Ipswich Town.
Following the departure of former captain Sam Morsy to Kuwait, Matusiwa is expected to step into Morsy’s role and even inherit his jersey number. While acknowledging the significance of the shirt and the responsibility that comes with it, Matusiwa expressed his willingness to be a leader for the team and adapt to English football.
Despite Morsy’s absence, Matusiwa is determined to establish himself as a key figure within the team and contribute positively to Ipswich Town’s campaign. His commitment to embracing the leadership role and making an impact on the pitch reflects his ambition to succeed with the Tractor Boys.
