Ayyuba Jambang, a young player out of Reading, has joined Ipswich Town.
Before moving to Reading last year, the 18-year-old right-back was previously signed by the Tractor Boys’ fiercest rivals, Norwich City.
Jambang is still making his imprint in the professional game, as you might anticipate for someone so young, with his minutes thus far coming in academy football.
Complete signing of Ayyuba Jambang by Ipswich Town
Jambang, who spent the previous year playing for the Royals, has moved on to Portman Road, as the player confirmed on Instagram.
“I’m happy to have finished it; as one chapter ends, another one begins. I can’t wait to get going. For the past year, I appreciate you all at Reading Football Club.
The coaches have had an opportunity to evaluate Jambang closely and they are obviously impressed by what he has to offer. It is no secret that the teenager had been on Ipswich’s radar since he had played for Ipswich’s U21 side in a game against Fleetwood last week.
Ayyuba Jambang will play for Kieran McKenna’s team, right?
Unsurprisingly, at this time, this is not a signing for the first team. There is intense competition for spots in McKenna’s squad because Ipswich is leading the Championship, and the manager will be pleased with the depth of his team.
The club is also looking toward the future, and while the senior side has received attention and investment, the same is true of the developing teams.
Jambang will take advantage of the opportunity to play for the U21s and hopes to eventually break into the first team.
The young player may receive a loan transfer to aid in his development, but for now, Jambang will be focused on settling in at his new team and showcasing his skills to the Portman Road personnel.
Ipswich: Has this been a wise acquisition?
Fans will be happy to see that the club is constantly seeking to enhance the development side, and it’s definitely a low-risk decision. But only time will tell on this one.
Therefore, it will be intriguing to observe how Jambang’s career develops. It’s also a fantastic opportunity for the player at a major club with lofty goals.
McKenna will be pleased with how the Suffolk team has handled their return to the second tier. They are a club on the rise right now.
He will be conscious that there are significant obstacles to overcome, but Ipswich’s confidence and momentum will make them a true test for any team in the Championship.
After the September 16 international break, McKenna’s team will return to play when they travel to Hillsborough to face Sheffield Wednesday.
