adminIpswich Town Seal Deal for Ivan Azón Amid Summer of Squad Changes
While Ipswich Town’s summer transfer window has largely been dominated by player exits, the club has now made a statement signing with the arrival of striker Ivan Azón.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Spanish forward is set to join Ipswich from Italian side Como 1907 on an initial loan deal. The agreement includes a £1.7 million loan fee, with a £12.9 million obligation to buy if Ipswich secure promotion to the Premier League.
The move signals a significant step forward in Ipswich’s recruitment strategy during what has been a tricky window for the club. Following their relegation, the Tractor Boys have had to carefully manage their resources while dealing with uncertainty around key players.
The prolonged transfer saga involving Omari Hutchinson continues, Nathan Broadhead is nearing a move to Wrexham, and the departure of captain Sam Morsy has left a major leadership void in midfield. Loan expirations have also stretched the squad’s depth, especially in central areas — a concern for manager Kieran McKenna.
Despite the setbacks, Ipswich have remained active behind the scenes, looking to reshape the squad. The signing of Azón, a 22-year-old versatile attacker, is a clear signal of intent as they aim to bounce back to the top flight.
Azón had been linked with a move to Portman Road throughout the summer, and his arrival is now all but confirmed. His addition gives McKenna a new attacking option and could become a long-term asset if promotion is achieved.
With more transfer activity expected, Ipswich appear far from finished in the market as they prepare for the upcoming campaign with ambitions of a quick return to the Premier League.
