Ipswich are now close to making a seventh signing of the summer transfer window – at the expense of Everton.

Kieran McKenna has already lured Liam Delap, Omari ෴Hutchinson, Ben Johnson, Conor Townsend, Jacob Greaves and Arijanet Muric to Portman Road on permanent deals.

Now, Ipswich are close to signing an Everton target on loan…

Ipswich in advanced talks with Napoli to sign Everton target Jens Cajuste

Gianluca Di Marzio now states that Ipswich are holding advanced t🧸alks with Napoli over a deal to sign Jens Cajuste on loan for the 2024/25 campaign.

Th💝e story has been backed up by the too, who add that the Sweden inteಞrnational is also a target for Everton this summer.

It is said that Ipswich are negotiating to sign Cajuste on what is typically described as a dry loan – meaning no option or obligation to buy the Swede on a permanent deal next summer will be incl🤡uded.

The Napoli No.24 moved from Reims to Naples back in August 2023 for a sum of (£10m) – but only made 11 starts in ꩲSerie A as the Italian giants finished tenth, in what was a feeble defence of their le🌊ague title.

Now, Cajuste – age💎d 25 – is close to startin👍g afresh at Ipswich, just days after the defensive midfielder saw a £10m move to Brentford collapse.

Sean Dyche could turn to player Kieran McKenna also considered

A story from the claimed just a matter of days ago that Manchester City No.4 Kalvin Phillips is ꦜon both Ipswich and Everton’s radar.

That 🌜was🤡 also mentioned in the aforementioned story from the East Anglian Daily Times.

Therefore, with Cajuste now close to rejecting Everton 💛and signing for Ipswich instead൲, it is possible that Sean Dyche explores a move for Phillips, who the Manchester Evening News state is available on either a loan or a permanent deal.

The England international has endured a 🏅miserable time under Pep Guardiola, and also failed to shine during a loan spell at West Ham last season.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Mi🎃ke Dean even said that Phillips was “wastin꧅g his time playing” for West Ham, addin👍g that the Yorkshireman did not look🐻 interested whatsoever during his time in east London.
