Ipswich Town are reportedly in pursuit of SC Freiburg winger Derry Scherhant. According to sources at Sport BILD, the club is making a considerable push to sign the key forward.
What's the situation?
Ipswich Town finished the 2025 season in 2nd place in the Championship, with 84 points from 46 games, and are now looking to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
Why the interest in Scherhant?
The attacker himself could certainly imagine a move to England, but the Breisgau club would only consider selling if the price is right, with Freiburg demanding between €16.5 and €17.5million for the club to even consider a sale this summer.
What comes next?
With Ipswich Town, Scherhant would likely only be fighting for survival, while Freiburg is expected to be in contention for European qualification again, having scored 80 goals and conceded 47 in the 2025 season, resulting in a +33 goal difference. As the transfer window remains open, Ipswich Town will be looking to finalize their squad for the upcoming season, with the club currently 11 points behind leaders Coventry in the Championship standings.
