Ipswich Town has completed the signing of midfielder Sasa Lukic from Fulham for a package worth £9million. The 29-year-old Serbia international joins the Tractor Boys ahead of the new Premier League season.
What happened?
Sasa Lukic has completed a medical ahead of joining Ipswich Town from Fulham. The 29-year-old midfielder is moving to Portman Road for a package worth £9million and, if all goes to plan, will sign a four-year contract.
Why it matters for Ipswich Town
Lukic would be Ipswich's second acquisition from Fulham this summer, following the arrival of centre-back Issa Diop in July. The signing adds depth to Gary O'Neil's midfield, after loan deals for Jens Cajuste and Dan Neil concluded at the end of last season.
What comes next?
Ipswich Town are preparing for their return to the Premier League following last season's promotion. Head coach Kieran McKenna stepped down this summer, with O'Neil appointed his replacement. The Tractor Boys are currently 11 points behind leaders Coventry in the title race, with 80 goals scored and 47 conceded this season.
League standing (final 2025 table -- new season not yet under way): 2nd in Championship, 84 pts, 23W-15D-8L from 46 games, recent form WDDWD. Goals this season: 80 scored, 47 conceded (+33 goal difference).
