Axel Tuanzebe of Ipswich Town acknowledges that there is still plenty of work to be done in order for the club to be ready for the Premier League. Despite defying the odds to secure second place in the Championship table, the team is determined to make a successful return to the top flight after a 22-year absence.
Tuanzebe, the sole non-loan player with significant Premier League experience, emphasized the need to bulk up the team and be prepared for the quicker pace and more talented players in the top division. He expressed confidence in the team’s ability to make a strong impact in the Premier League.
He also revealed that discussions about promotion were happening within the club as early as September of the previous year. Despite initial doubts, the team believed in their plan and executed it successfully, leading to the joyous celebrations that have followed.
Having joined Ipswich as a free agent in September, Tuanzebe overcame injury setbacks to play a crucial role in the team’s promotion push. His contract is set to expire soon, but the option to extend it by another year is on the table.
Reflecting on his journey with Ipswich, Tuanzebe highlighted the challenges of joining mid-season but expressed satisfaction in persevering and contributing to the team’s success. As conversations about his future with the club continue behind the scenes, he is focused on enjoying the momentous achievement of promotion.
Tuanzebe’s experience in the Premier League, along with the contributions of other players with top-flight appearances, will be valuable assets as Ipswich Town prepares for the challenges of the next season.
