IPSWICH TOWN’S MANAGER, KIERAN McKenna, has added another Irishman to his roster of talent with the confirmation of the signing of Chiedozie Ogbene.
Ogbene made 30 appearances for Luton Town last year in the Premier League and scored four goals from the wing.
Over the last fortnight, Fermanagh man McKenna has beefed up the Tractor Boys squad by swooping for striker Sammie Szmodics, who netted against Manchester City last weekend, and then this week defender Dara O’Shea joined Ipswich from Burnley.
Ogbene has agree to a four year deal and the fee was £8 million.
He posted on his own X account; ‘I am extremely happy & blessed to be here @IpswichTown. I hope I can help bring great joy and success to this Town for many years to come.’
🎥 Chieo's first interview is available to watch now on TownTV. ⤵️

Ipswich are spending money but blowing it on championship players. They will be the strongest team the championship has ever seen next season
@Red Rooster: Ogbene was literally Luton’s best player last season in the premier league and has proven he is more than capable to play at that level. Smzodics has already adjusted to premier league life brilliantly already too scoring against the champions at the weekend so I’m not sure what you mean there.
@Red Rooster: Great players have to start somewhere. They can’t all be child prodgies……. Like me!! ;-)
@Red Rooster: Have as good as chance off staying up as everton wolves souhamton utd
@Daire O’Reilly: Agree 200 percent
@Square: Are Souhamton utd a new addition to the premier league? Hope they stay up whoever they are.
Something about Ipswich I got a feeling they might survive. I think Everton , Leicester and Southampton could go points deductions on the way for the first 2.
@Leighton Cullen: I feel the same they have nice squad now need few more irish players do
Irishwich town as MK would say brighton are my second team but now Ipswich are also lol
All these multi million signings is very very strange as a Tractor Boy. I hope McK can get them all up and running quickly. Not sure about this signing but with Burns injured need cover on RW. Uppa towen!
@Wandering_Dazed: mental spending for sleepy town W_D, feeling slightly queasy bout it but in Mck & Ashton we must trust.
COYBs
@Michael Kennedy: are ye forgetting the days of signing Finidi George!
The Republic of Ipswich?
@Tezmond McVicar: Iriswich Town lol
