Ipswich Town are arguably the favourites for the Championship title this season if you compare all the squads on paper.

Kieran McKenna has assembled quite the squad over the past number of seasons, with the Northern Irishman presumably confident of winning promotion with his team this campaign.

It has not gone all his way in the transfer window, as he had to bid farewell to Liam Delap as he left to join Chelsea for £30 million.

Ipswich will not be too worried at this stage despite Nathan Broadhead also being linked with a move to Wrexham.

However, the Tractor Boys look like they are going to bring in another recruit, and this one has Champions League experience.

Jens Cajuste looks set to join Ipswich Town

Fabrizio Romano has taken to social media to post an update on the transfer dealings of Napoli, Ipswich Town, and Beşiktaş.

The Italian journalist has posted that the Turkish giants appear to have dropped out of the race and Ipswich have agreed a deal for Jens Cajuste.

Swedish international Cajuste looks set to join Ipswich from Napoli on a loan deal worth €2 million, and it could become €7.5 million as a mandatory fee if the Tractor Boys are promoted to the Premier League.

The player himself just needs to agree to the deal, according to Romano, with the midfielder set to rejoin after his loan spell at Portman Road last season.

Jens Cajuste on his love for Ipswich

The midfielder was on loan at Ipswich last season, and he enjoyed his spell at Portman Road.

Jens Cajuste expressed his thoughts on the club at the end of the last season before leaving after his loan spell in an interview with the East Anglian Daily Times.

He said: “It’s a fantastic group, a great group of guys.

“I felt it from day one that there’s a very strong bond. Now there are a few more new additions, but the coach is doing well to integrate them. Everybody’s buying into the culture of what it’s like here.

“He’s [Kieran McKenna] a special manager. I have massive respect for him as a person and also as a coach. He has a great football mind. I’ve learnt a lot from him in a short period, and I know I’m going to learn a whole lot more as time goes on, so I’m just excited for that.

“The number one thing that Kieran has pushed me on is intensity. He’s always talking about keeping that intensity for as long as possible, striving to keep that intensity for 90 minutes. That’s the ultimate goal.

“I think Suffolk does suit me.

“Like you said, I’m pretty relaxed, pretty laid back, so I think it suits me like a hand in the glove. I think it’s perfect for me.”
