The past few years have been a rollercoaster for me ipswich town.

Tractor Boys have escaped mid-table mediocrity League One arrive Premier League In the blink of an eye, thanks to incredibly underrated players and talent Kieran McKenna.

However, while their fairytale rise in the league has been astonishing, Suffolk now have half a season left to try and maintain their place in the top flight where they belong.

Fortunately, results have started to pick up in recent weeks and there is an opportunity this month to add more quality to the squad, particularly in midfield.

Now, Ipswich’s star of the season is undoubtedly the incredible Liam Delap, who looks to be one of the best forwards in the league, followed closely by defender genius Leif Davis.

However, while the Tractor Boys don’t receive the same plaudits from the wider football world, they boast more than a few midfielders who play at home in the top flight.

For example, summer signing Omari Hutchinson has already achieved Appears 11 times in the middle He has scored two goals and provided one assist this season, while club captain Sam Morsy also featured for the team 18 games between centre-backs McKenna’s midfielder this year also managed to score and assist in the process.

In addition to the captain this season, there is Jens Cajuste, who has Appeared 15 times Or Kalvin Phillips, who has been a bit inconsistent so far but has the ability to play in defensive midfield and His name appears 13 times.

In short, while most of them are unremarkable players, Ipswich’s current midfield options are managing to hold their own in the Premier League, but according to reports earlier this month, They may soon get more help as the club is said to be Interested in former Chelsea star Nemanja Matic.

However, while the Serbia international is an experienced player and a big name, the Blues could have been linked with a perfect replacement late last month.

Potential Matic replacement for Ipswich Town

So, straight to the point, a potential replacement is former Leeds United star Glen Kamara.

According to reporters Graeme Bailey late last monthThe 6-foot giant joins French Ligue 1 side Stade Rennes Only £8.4m available in the summerattracting the attention of a number of clubs including Ipswich Town and Southampton.

It’s unclear how much France expected from the former Rangers star, but with his performance just about right 43% of available league minutes This semester, we wouldn’t be surprised if they were willing to accept payments closer to the summer.

However, while he hasn’t kicked as many balls as he would have liked this season, there are several reasons why he could be an ideal replacement for Nemanja Matic in the Tractor Boys side.

First of all, when we look deeper and compare the basic statistics of the midfielders this season, we can see that this is Finland’s “monster” because Voiced by former manager Steven Gerrardwho comes out on top.

For example, while it’s close, he tops many more metrics including, but not limited to, non-penalty goals plus assists, expected assists, passing accuracy, passes into the box, shots and goals – creating movement, leading the way Players being tackled, tackles, errors leading to field goals, successful catches, etc., all on a 90 scale.

As well as statistics, player longevity is also important, with the 29-year-old Rennes ace able to continue performing at the top level for seasons to come, while the 36-year-old ex-Serbian Inter Milan is undoubtedly close to hanging up his boots.

Finally, the former Manchester United star is currently Earns around £97,000 a weekwhile Fin representing 65 games is much more Reasonable salary of £29,000 per weekcombined with his underlying statistics and age, make him a more attractive option for a team threatened with relegation and who may need to bring in more players this month.

Ultimately, Matic has had an amazing career at the pinnacle of football, but as things stand, it makes more sense for Ipswich to try and lure Kamara this month.
