Ipswich Town can provide Plymouth Argyle perfect transfer opening: View
Even the most optimistic Town supporter couldn’t have predicted their club going from a mid-table finish in League One to the promised land of the sport in just two years.
This rise to success for Ipswich will likely come at the expense of some players though, who won’t be kept around for this top-flight season, and forward Kayden Jackson is a likely candidate to depart.
Jackson has been an Ipswich player for over half of a decade now after joining them from Accrington Stanley in 2018.
He has played for Town in both League One and the Championship and now the Premier League beckons for him and the club.
Despite this extended relationship between the two, Jackson hasn’t always been a regular starter in the Ipswich frontline.
This became particularly apparent last season. In many ways, he was a victim of his team’s success.
Starting just nine games in the second tier, whilst the likes of Conor Chaplin and Wes Burns moved further ahead of him in the pecking order, not to mention the January arrivals of Kieffer Moore, Jeremy Sarmiento, and Ali Al-Hamadi, perhaps spells the end for his time in blue and white.
Both of these campaigns were in League One and last year, he was largely reduced to watching on from the sidelines.
The likelihood of him playing in the Premier League, especially if Ipswich dip into the transfer market as expected, is slight, to say the least. Adding into the equation the matter of his contract, which has now come to an end and surely won’t be renewed by Ipswich, then a move back down to the Championship is the most suitable course of action for all concerned.
