Ipswich Town faces a near-impossible task of escaping relegation this season, with a 12-point gap between them and 17th place. Their hopes of staying in the Premier League are all but over, leaving the Tractor Boys staring at an immediate return to the Championship.
Despite their struggles, there have been positive performances, with left-back Leif Davis standing out. Though his stats in the Premier League aren’t spectacular, Davis has shown moments of brilliance, including a stunning volley against Leicester City.
His contributions—four goal involvements in the league—could catch the eye of potential suitors, including reports suggesting Juventus may be interested in him.
With relegation looming, Ipswich might lose Davis, but manager Kieran McKenna has already found a potential replacement in Conor Townsend. The 32-year-old former West Bromwich Albion player has impressed in his limited time with Ipswich, showing his capability as an attacking full-back. Even though he’s older, Townsend’s experience and past performances in the Championship make him a valuable asset for the team.
Townsend’s track record at West Brom, where he made 213 appearances, registering 15 assists, suggests he can thrive in the second tier. Ipswich fans have seen glimpses of his quality, and if Davis departs, Townsend could step up to fill the void. His recent form has earned praise from both teammates and manager, solidifying his role as a key figure for the Tractor Boys moving forward.
