Ipswich Town considering move for talented winger who may become free agent
Ipswich Town, currently battling relegation from the Premier League, are reportedly interested in signing winger Hakim Ziyech in the January transfer window. The former Chelsea player may soon become available on a free transfer if his contract with Galatasaray is terminated as rumored.
After a disappointing 4-0 loss to Newcastle United, Ipswich find themselves two points from safety and in need of reinforcements. Manager Kieran McKenna is likely looking to add more Premier League experience to help the club avoid dropping back down to the Championship.
While Ziyech has struggled for form at Galatasaray this season, the 31-year-old Moroccan international could be rejuvenated by a return to England’s top flight. During his time at Chelsea, Ziyech showed flashes of brilliance and earned high praise from respected figures like Louis van Gaal, who called him a “wonderful player.”
If Ipswich can secure Ziyech on a free transfer, it could prove to be a savvy piece of business to boost their survival hopes. His creativity and Premier League know-how could provide a much-needed spark for the Tractor Boys in the second half of the season.
With the January window fast approaching, Ipswich will likely face competition for Ziyech’s signature from other clubs. However, the opportunity for regular playing time in a survival battle could appeal to the winger as he looks to revive his career.
