As the transfer window deadline approaches, both Ipswich and Southampton are determined to secure their place in the Premier League next season.
Southampton, who managed to bounce back from relegation, are eager to avoid facing the same challenge again. Meanwhile, Ipswich, who fought hard for their spot in the top flight, are determined to maintain their status at any cost.
Both clubs have been active in the transfer market this summer, but neither has completed their deals yet. Sunderland’s Jack Clarke has caught the attention of both teams, with rumors suggesting that Ipswich and Southampton are both still in the race to sign him.
Losing Clarke would be a significant setback for Sunderland, especially so close to the start of the new Championship season. Ipswich and Southampton may need to make a substantial offer to convince Sunderland to part ways with Clarke.
