JUST IN: Sam Morsy finally makes a career decision on leaving Ipswich town this summer.
A total of 98 points was insufficient to secure second place in the standings, as Kieran McKenna’s team lost out to Plymouth Argyle for the championship.
But the Tractor Boys’ well-earned consolation gift for finishing their four-year run in the third division was a return to the second tier.
With an eye on the long term, McKenna will now want to assemble a team that can contend in the Championship and challenge for promotion to the Premier League.
While staying in the second division will be the club’s immediate goal, the transfer window has given them the chance to start concentrating on catching up to their new competitors.
It’s been a busy few months at Portman Road, preparing for the opening clash with Sunderland on 6 August.
Here we look at the latest transfer headlines surrounding Ipswich…
Pigott’s departure from Ipswich
Joe Piggott has departed the team, the club revealed in a statement posted on their website.
Mutual consent has been used to decide to split ways, and the forward is already planning his next move.
His entrance as their most recent summer window signing has been confirmed by Leyton Orient.
Pigott played on loan for Portsmouth during the previous season, where he scored four goals in 35 league games to lead Pompey to an eighth-place result in the standings.
Still, he only made nine appearances from the beginning.
Ipswich Town has made public their fourth summer transfer window arrival.
Omari Hutchinson, a young player from Chelsea, has joined the team on a season-long loan from the Blues.
The 19-year-old has emphasized how happy he is to get the opportunity to establish himself with McKenna.
After moving to Stamford Bridge less than a year ago, Hutchinson only made one Premier League appearance for Chelsea in the previous season.
While he is at Portman Road, he hopes to obtain more first team experience.
Sam Morsy responds to speculation
Sam Morsy’s name has been linked with a potential move to Saudi Arabia, as the Arab nation continues its investment into football this summer.
However, speaking to talksport, the Ipswich player has dismissed talk of a move away from Portman Road.
He has assuaged any supporters’ fears that he may be departing the club, claiming that his full focus is on preparing for the Championship season with Ipswich.
“It was news to me, really,” said Morsy, via TWTD.
