The current developments surrounding Kieran McKenna will come as a great relief to Ipswich Town, as it appears that the in-demand Tractor Boys boss will likely sign a new deal to stay in Suffolk rather than expanding his career.
Before Enzo Maresca from fellow promoted team Leicester City emerged as the clear favourite for the Chelsea vacancy and other high-profile positions, McKenna will now want to move on and begin adding new players to the Portman Road roster away from rumours circulating about his future.
The 38-year-old hot property could even be tempted to raid Chelsea this summer to boost the attacking spots at Ipswich, potentially replicating the masterstroke loan deal of Omari Hutchinson in the process, whilst also replacing the out-going source of goals in Kieffer Moore – who is now back at AFC Bournemouth after a short but sweet stint in Suffolk.
Ipswich eyeing up £40k-per-week attacker
A report from the Express recently suggested that Chelsea could slash the excessive £50m price tag once put above Armando Broja’s head which might encourage Ipswich to go after his services, especially with their newly acquired Premier League cash after promotion.
It won’t be straightforward for McKenna’s men to win a deal for the £40k-per-week-man however, with the likes of AS Monaco and Borussia Dortmund interested from Europe alongside Wolverhampton Wanderers and West Ham United based in the top-flight also being keen.
