Ipswich Town have pulled off a genuine coup, securing Argentina international Exequiel Palacios from Bayer Leverkusen, according to BBC News.
The move makes the 27-year-old midfielder the first World Cup winner to join the Suffolk club, adding a touch of genuine star quality to their squad following their return to the Championship.
Palacios was part of the Argentina squad that lifted the World Cup in Qatar in 2022, and his arrival represents a striking statement of intent from Ipswich as they look to bounce back from relegation from the Premier League.
Details on contract length and fee were not disclosed in the report, but the signing underlines Ipswich's ambition to strengthen with proven, top-level experience as they attempt an immediate return to the top flight.
