Ipswich Town goalkeeper Alex Palmer is reportedly a target for West Brom, with the player keen on a return to his former club. The Tractor Boys have invested heavily in shot-stoppers this off-season, with Kjell Scherpen joining from Union SG and Kayne van Oevelen arriving from FC Volendam.
What's behind the move?
Palmer has featured in 27 games for Ipswich Town since joining from West Brom in 2025, including 13 Premier League appearances. However, with the arrival of new goalkeepers, Palmer's chances may be limited.
Why it matters for Ipswich Town
The potential departure of Palmer could have significant implications for Ipswich Town's goalkeeping department. The club may need to reassess their options and consider bringing in additional reinforcements.
What comes next?
West Brom are reportedly weighing up the pros and cons of a move for Palmer, who played 104 matches for the Albion between 2021 and 2025. If the deal goes through, Palmer would become the second player to make the return journey from Ipswich to West Brom this window, following experienced left-back Conor Townsend.
