Ipswich Town are taking a bolder approach to strengthening their squad ahead of their Premier League return, according to BBC News, with chairman Mark Ashton admitting the club need to be "a bit braver" this time around.
The Tractor Boys have reportedly turned their attention to more ambitious targets, with Japanese forward Daizen Maeda and Moroccan centre-back Issa among the names said to be under consideration. Their inclusion reflects a shift in recruitment strategy after previous top-flight stints ended in relegation, suggesting Ipswich are now willing to compete for higher-calibre talent rather than settling for lower-league proven quantities.
While full details of the club's transfer plans remain unclear, Ashton's comments point to a more assertive market approach as Ipswich attempt to build a squad capable of surviving in the Premier League this time. No fees, contract terms or confirmed deals have been reported at this stage, with the situation described as part of the club's broader summer recruitment push rather than finalised business.
