Ipswich Town’s latest transfer business shows off a club that isn’t content with just simply making up the numbers in the Premier League and enjoying the ride whilst it happens.
Instead, Kieran McKenna and Co want to stay up and thrive in the top flight if possible.
Splashing the cash to sign the likes of Omari Hutchinson, Jacob Greaves and Liam Delap – with both Delap and Hutchinson costing the Tractor Boys almost £40m alone – the Suffolk club will hope these bold purchases can help them keep their heads above water in the tough top division.
More ambitious buys could be soon on their way, including this potential deal for a new well-rounded midfielder on loan, who is attracting interest from the likes of Inter Milan away from being linked with a switch to Ipswich.
Ipswich contemplating ambitious loan swoop
Tanner Tessman, a breakout star for Venezia, is reportedly being courted by Ipswich for a loan during this hectic transfer window, with Inter reportedly close to agreeing to a permanent deal to sign him. This information comes from Fabrizio Romano.
The reigning Italian premier league champions have taken notice of the two-time USA international’s skills after he excelled for them last season in helping them win promotion to Serie A. However, they will permit him to go on loan to gain more experience.
Feyenoord are also reportedly interested in the skilful 22-year-old, whilst Everton are also actively trying to strike up a deal with Inter, away from Ipswich’s keen interest in the midfielder.
What Tessman can offer Ipswich
According to Fabrizio Romano, Ipswich are looking at snapping up the services of breakout Venezia star Tanner Tessman on loan this frantic transfer window, with Inter closing in on a permanent deal to sign him
The reigning Italian premier league champions have taken notice of the two-time USA international’s skills after he excelled for them last season in helping them win promotion to Serie A. However, they will permit him to go on loan to gain more experience.
Wildly described as a player who is like “[Manue] Locatelli and [Declan] Rice rolled into one” by football analyst Ben Mattinson, Tessman starred last campaign as a goalscoring midfield option, but also as a brute force capable of breaking up play from deep, and then orchestrating his own forward moves.
Tessman would score six goals and pick up three assists from 39 Venezia appearances last season on the way to his side’s triumphant promotion, but when casting an eye at the table below, he’s far more than just a presence who will bag some goals and set up teammates for chances.
Tessman actually outperforms Morsy in a lot of their respective defensive categories, averaging more wins, clearances, and blocks over the past year. If a deal goes through, there’s now a chance for the Venezia man to form a strong midfield combination with the Egypt international.
Massimo Luongo is also being considered for the holding midfield positions, as McKenna begins to face the best selection puzzles rather than having to battle to have enough depth for the Premier League’s might.
