A pundit suggests that Ipswich Town is considering a move for Manchester United’s Amad Diallo amid reports of a potential £3 million transfer.
c’s team has experienced only one goalless match this season, which occurred in a 2-0 loss to West Bromwich Albion on November 25th. Ipswich Town currently boasts the most potent attacking force in the league, having scored 47 goals so far.
Despite their formidable attacking prowess, there isn’t a single standout goalscorer in the squad, as illustrated in the breakdown of goals scored by all of Ipswich Town’s forwards. This has led to reports, specifically from Alan Nixon via Patreon, suggesting that the Ipswich Town board is prepared to allocate £3 million to McKenna in the upcoming January transfer window to address the team’s attacking needs.
In an exclusive interview with FLW, Carlton Palmer acknowledges that Ipswich Town has multiple goalscorers, with four strikers contributing to 26 of the team’s 47 goals. However, he expresses doubt that any of them will reach a minimum of 20 goals by the end of the season. Palmer supports the reported decision to back McKenna in the transfer market, emphasizing the importance of acquiring a prolific goalscorer.
Regarding the £3 million transfer budget, Palmer notes that in the current market, it may not be considered a substantial amount. He suggests that McKenna may need to be strategic and explore options in the loan market, particularly considering his success with young players from Premier League clubs this season.
Palmer highlights the potential use of McKenna’s connections with Manchester United in the pursuit of a new forward. He mentions Amad Diallo, who impressed in the Championship with Sunderland last season, as a viable target. Diallo, capable of playing across the front line, could complement Ipswich Town’s style of play.
While TeamTalk recently reported Sunderland’s interest in bringing Diallo back to the Stadium of Light, there is Championship competition for his signature. Whether Ipswich Town includes Diallo on their shortlist remains to be seen, but his versatility and past success make him a compelling option.
