Football expert Carlton Palmer suggests that Ipswich Town, currently the top scorers in the Championship, may make a move for Manchester United’s Amad Diallo amid reports of a £3 million transfer budget for manager Kieran McKenna.
Ipswich’s attacking prowess has been crucial in their bid for a second successive promotion, with only one game resulting in no goals scored so far this season.
Despite having multiple goal contributors, Palmer notes that none of Ipswich’s strikers seem likely to reach a minimum of 20 goals by the end of the season.
Palmer acknowledges that the reported £3 million budget may not be substantial in the current transfer market but emphasizes the importance of finding a prolific goalscorer to enhance Ipswich’s chances of securing back-to-back promotions. He suggests that McKenna, known for utilizing the loan market effectively, may consider players capable of making the step up to the Premier League.
Drawing attention to McKenna’s connections with Manchester United, Palmer proposes Amad Diallo as a potential target. Diallo, who impressed with 14 goals during his loan spell at Sunderland last season, is now back in full fitness and versatile enough to operate across the front line, fitting Ipswich’s playing style. Palmer considers Diallo a viable option for Ipswich to pursue in their quest for a consistent goalscorer.
While TeamTalk has reported Sunderland’s interest in re-signing Diallo, the article raises the possibility of Championship competition for the Ivorian player, indicating that Ipswich may be considering him as well for their shortlist.
