Ipswich Town’s Conor Chaplin is in the final year of his contract, and a fan pundit from FLW has called on the club to offer him a new deal quickly.
Ipswich Town have already seen defenders Cameron Burgess and Axel Tuanzebe leave for free after contract talks broke down. Now, the club faces a similar risk with forward Conor Chaplin, whose current deal runs out next summer. Given his importance to the team’s recent success, there’s a strong push for the club to secure his future.
Chaplin has played a vital role in Ipswich’s climb up the English football ladder, consistently providing goals over the past two years. While his impact in the Premier League was limited, mainly due to injury, he’s proven to be a lethal threat at Championship level. With Ipswich back in the second tier, Chaplin will aim for another standout season to earn another shot at top-flight football.
Football League World spoke with Ipswich fan pundit Adam Wilkin, who stressed the importance of securing Chaplin with a new two-year contract. Wilkin highlighted that the forward didn’t get a fair chance in the Premier League, just starting to find form before an untimely injury cut him short. Despite this setback, he returned late in the season and remains a key figure.
Wilkin also emphasized Chaplin’s fit in McKenna’s system and his experience with the squad’s dynamics. With the right support and a clean bill of health, Chaplin could realistically hit 15–20 goals this season. That kind of form would help Ipswich push for promotion—and give Chaplin the platform to prove himself in the Premier League once again.
A season back in the Championship might be exactly what Chaplin needs. If he stays fit and delivers like he has before—13 goals in 44 games during his last full Championship season—he could either earn another Premier League run with Ipswich or catch the eye of another top-flight side.
