Ipswich Town have now made an offer for a “powerful” forward who has impressed for his country, and they have received a reaction.

Ipswich anticipate a strong approach in the transfer market.

Sunderland shown what can be accomplished if promoted Championship sides get their recruitment right, and chairman Mark Ashton says Ipswich are seeking to repeat the Black Cats.

Ashton stated: “The Championship is brutal, but the Premier League is the best and toughest league in the world for a reason.”The success of clubs such as Brentford, Brighton, Sunderland, Leeds, and Nottingham gives promise for the future.I believe we will need to adopt a new strategy this year, particularly in terms of player and talent recruitment. But we’ll be ahead of the game; investors have already shown their desire to back us up to the hilt, and we’ll go again.”

The Tractor Boys have already made two permanent signings, defender Cedric Kipre and striker Chuba Akpom, and are now looking to add another forward to their squad.

Ipswich submits an offer for Championship standout.

According to Football Insider, Ipswich are now ramping up their pursuit of Millwall forward Femi Azeez, having submitted a £20 million bid for his services, which has been rejected by the Championship side, who are demanding £30 million.

Azeez is under contract until 2028, therefore Millwall believes they have a good negotiating position, and there is’significant interest’ from competing suitors.

During his time with Reading, former manager Ruben Selles praised the right-winger, saying: “I think Femi has done a really good job for us the entire season.

“Initially, he needed a little more luck with his end product, but he has been working hard on it. When he eventually grasped it, he gained confidence. He is such a valuable player for us.”

Since then, the Nigerian has established himself at Championship level, scoring 11 goals and assisting eight times in 35 regular-season appearances until the Lions were eliminated from the play-offs by Hull City in the semi-finals.

The 24-year-old has also begun to make a name for himself on the international stage, averaging two goals per game for Nigeria and scoring a brace in his first cap, which came against Zimbabwe earlier this week.

As a result, Azeez may now be ready to try himself in the Premier League, and he has shown that he can help Ipswich avoid relegation.
