Ipswich Town are among the favourites to sign Daniel Jebbison from Bournemouth, with the striker's impressive form on loan at Preston North End making him a top target for several Championship clubs. The 22-year-old Canadian-born striker scored six goals and provided two assists from 22 Championship starts last season, and his performances have not gone unnoticed. Ipswich, Coventry and Hull are all keen to sign Jebbison, but Bournemouth are reluctant to let him go on a permanent basis. The Cherries' preferred outcome would be another Championship loan move, allowing Jebbison to continue his development through regular first-team football before returning to the south coast next summer. Ipswich are looking to strengthen their attack ahead of the new season, and view Jebbison as a player capable of adding pace, power and goals to their team. Coventry and Hull are equally keen, and have both made checks on the player's situation as they seek to bolster their forward options. Burnley, Middlesbrough, Birmingham, Norwich and Blackburn are also waiting in the wings, with the level of interest reflecting the regard in which Jebbison is held throughout the game. Recruitment teams are particularly attracted by his work rate, physicality and ability to lead a press from the front. His effectiveness in transition and on the counterattack was a key feature of his spell at Preston and is viewed as a major strength by clubs looking to play an aggressive, front-foot style. Bournemouth share that belief and remain convinced that Jebbison can make significant strides over the next 12 months and continue progressing towards becoming a genuine first-team option at the Vitality Stadium. The battle now appears to be over who can provide the most attractive development pathway for the young striker. And with several Championship clubs keen to take him on loan, it remains to be seen where Jebbison will end up next season. So, Ipswich Town will be hoping to persuade Bournemouth to let Jebbison join them on a permanent basis, but it looks like a tough ask. But the club's manager will be keen to add the striker to his squad, and will likely be talking to Bournemouth in the coming days.
