Ipswich Town are switching up their recruitment strategy as they prepare for a fresh crack at the Premier League, according to BBC Sport.
Having previously leaned heavily on proven Championship talent to fuel their remarkable rise through the divisions, the Suffolk club are reportedly now casting their net wider, scouting further afield in the transfer market as they look to build a squad capable of surviving at the top level.
BBC Sport's report examines the shift from a strategy built around "Championship all-stars" — players with a track record of success in England's second tier — towards a more global approach to squad building, as Ipswich attempt to avoid the pitfalls that have derailed other promoted sides in the past.
The piece raises the question of whether this new method will prove effective, though no specific transfer targets or deals are confirmed in the report itself. It comes as part of BBC Sport's broader look at how Ipswich are preparing for Premier League life once again, with the club keen to strengthen sensibly rather than repeat past mistakes.
