The victory against the Black Cats couldn’t have come at a better time and ended a run of five league games without a win. The win keeps Ipswich in the automatic promotion places, three points ahead of Southampton who have now gone 19 Championship games unbeaten.
The Tractor Boys have made two signings so far this month, signing Lewis Travis on loan from Championship rivals Blackburn Rovers and Jeremy Sarmiento on loan from Premier League side Brighton.
Meanwhile, Kieran McKenna’s side have seen Tete Yengi join Livingston on a permanent basis and winger Kyle Edwards has left the club by mutual consent following his loan spell with Oxford United.
Mckenna will be hopeful of adding a few more players to his squad over the next fortnight or so as they look to seal Premier League promotion. Here is the latest Ipswich Town transfer news..
Pundit Carlton Palmer believes that Blackburn Rovers should cash in on Ipswich target Sam Gallagher this month.
Journalist Nick Mashitter has reported on X that the Tractor Boys have had two bids worth £1 million and £1.5 million rejected for the Blackburn man.
Ipswich are looking to sign a striker this month thanks to George Hirst’s injury, although Alan Nixon has reported that Gallagher’s salary “may be a big problem” for the Tractor Boys
24-year-old goalkeeper Nick Hayes has extended his loan with non-league side Solihull Moors until the end of the season.
He joined the Midlands-based club last month and has impressed, keeping two clean sheets in six appearances and subsequently doing enough to have his loan extended.
Hayes signed for Ipswich in January 2022 from Hemel Hempstead Town and spent time on loan with Southend United last season. The shot-stopper is out of contract with the Tractor Boys in the summer and is yet to make a first-team appearance, so it remains to be seen if he’s got a future at the club.
