The Ogbene signing has sent shockwaves throughout the Premier League, as Ipswich Town has secured the services of the talented winger Chiedozie Ogbene from Luton Town for a whopping £8 million. This move marks the 10th signing for the Tractor Boys since their return to the top flight, and it’s clear that they’re not done yet. With the transfer deadline looming, Ipswich is still in talks with Chelsea for striker Armando Broja, and fans are eagerly waiting to see what other surprises the club has in store.
Speed Demon: Ogbene’s Impressive Premier League Debut
Chiedozie Ogbene’s remarkable performance in the Premier League last season caught the attention of many, including Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna. The 27-year-old winger was the second-fastest player in the league, clocking an impressive 36.93kph against Fulham last September. This speed and agility make him a valuable asset to any team, and Ipswich is excited to have him on board.
Ogbene’s journey to the Premier League has been nothing short of remarkable. Born in Nigeria, he moved to Ireland at a young age and began his football career with local clubs Cork and Limerick. He later joined Brentford before making the move to Rotherham and eventually Luton Town. Despite Luton’s relegation last season, Ogbene’s impressive performances earned him a spot in the Ireland national team and caught the attention of top-flight clubs.
Ogbene’s Thoughts on the Move
In a recent interview, Ogbene expressed his excitement about joining Ipswich Town and returning to the Premier League. “I’m very excited and feel lucky to have this opportunity to play in the Premier League again,” he said. “I’ve had very positive chats with the manager [Kieran McKenna] and for someone to believe in me, that I could play at this level again, means a lot to me and my family.”
Ogbene also spoke about his role in the team and his goals for the upcoming season. “I know what he wants from me and the role I will play, and I’m here to be a positive addition to the squad as we look to achieve our goals.” With his speed, agility, and determination, Ogbene is sure to make a significant impact on the team.
