Ipswich signed Ali Al-Hamadi from League Two side AFC Wimbledon in January, and that move could affect the future of one of his new teammates.
Al-Hamadi had a £1.2 million price tag put on him by Wimbledon in the summer. Football League World exclusively revealed that both Premier League and Championship clubs were monitoring him around that time too. No deal got done at the start of the season, but he got his move in the winter window.
Ipswich were the ones to pull the trigger and sign the young forward from the Dons for a reported initial fee of just over £1 million, with add-ons that could take that figure much higher, according to the East Anglia Daily Times.
He’s played three games for the club, and he got his first goal for Ipswich, on Wednesday night, with a late penalty which he won and converted calmly. But his arrival could be a nod to one of the other Town players that their time may be up.
Kayden Jackson’s contract with the club is up at the end of the season, and the £1.6 million signing could be out the door of Portman Road by the time the 2024/25 season comes around. Football League World’s Ipswich Town fan pundit doesn’t think that would be a bad thing.
Ipswich Town fan says the club should move on from Kayden Jackson
FLW’s Ipswich Town fan pundit Henry has said that he would like to see Town part ways with Jackson when his contract expires.
He said: “People love to sue him as a scapegoat because I think, unfortunately, technically he’s not good enough to be in the position that Ipswich are in. It’s similar to what happened to Freddie Ladapo; they aren’t good enough to be challenging to go up to the Premier League.
“When he plays on the right, it’s a different story, because he can use the pace that he’s got. Playing up top is a completely different story.
