The latest Ipswich transfer news: every confirmed deal in the 2026/27 window, who they’re linked with, and the odds on what happens next. Updated 20 August 2026.
Ipswich's second crack at the Premier League is better armed than the first: £153m committed, the club record broken on Julio Enciso, and Monday's double swoop on Strasbourg — Enciso and Abdoul Ouattara for a combined £43m — the boldest single morning of their window.
Kieran McKenna's outstanding question is in goal, where Nick Pope is a live target with Leeds in the same race. Each fresh line of Ipswich transfer news is added here as it breaks.
