Ipswich Town eyeing Rennes striker Breel Embolo
Ipswich Town are reportedly interested in signing Rennes and Switzerland international centre-forward Breel Embolo, according to a report from Onze Mondial. The 29-year-old striker has drawn attention from several clubs, including Hull City, Serie A sides, and Atlanta United FC.
What's behind the interest in Embolo?
Ipswich Town's interest in Embolo is reportedly driven by his impressive performance in the 2026 World Cup with Murat Yakin's Nati. The striker scored and assisted twice in Switzerland's run to the World Cup quarter-final, where Embolo received a controversial red card against Argentina.
What comes next for Embolo?
Embolo joined Rennes from Ligue 1 rivals AS Monaco last summer in a €13m move. His debut season in Brittany drew mixed reviews, as he only logged ten goals and three assists. However, Embolo reportedly favours a move to England, which could make Ipswich Town's interest a strong contender.
Ipswich Town's current form
League standing: 2nd in Championship, 84 pts, 23W-15D-8L from 46 games, recent form WDDWD. Goals this season: 80 scored, 47 conceded (+33 goal difference). Title race: 11 points behind leaders Coventry.
Conclusion
Ipswich Town's interest in Breel Embolo is a significant development in the transfer market. With Embolo reportedly favouring a move to England, Ipswich Town's chances of signing the striker are looking promising. However, the club will need to compete with other interested parties, including Hull City and Serie A sides, to secure his signature.
