Ipswich Town’s chief executive, Mark Ashton, has outlined the specific criteria set by manager Kieran McKenna for the upcoming transfer window.
McKenna is keen on signing young, ambitious players whom he can develop, maintaining a balance between experienced players and those with hunger for success.
Despite their current success in the Championship, sitting in 2nd place and eyeing promotion to the Premier League, the team’s prospects may hinge on strategic January signings.
Ashton emphasized McKenna’s insistence on recruiting the best players based on technical and physical specifications while maintaining squad balance.
McKenna aims to avoid overpopulating the roster, currently at a full 25-man squad. Ashton revealed that any new addition in January would necessitate the removal of a current squad member.
McKenna’s approach appears measured and focused, with indications suggesting minimal adjustments to the squad during the upcoming transfer window.
This approach aligns with the team’s strong performance, prompting speculation about potential interest from other clubs in Ipswich Town’s players.
Ashton clarified that if a player departs, a replacement will be brought in, emphasizing a logical and sensible approach.
The January transfer window will be closely watched to gauge Ipswich Town’s activity. Regardless of McKenna’s decisions, the club seems committed to supporting him in his strategic approach to player recruitment.
