Ipswich Town Target Florentino Luis Set to Leave Hull City
Ipswich Town's hopes of signing midfielder Florentino Luis have been dealt a blow, with Hull City boss Sergej Jakirovic admitting that the 26-year-old is set to join another club. The Tigers had been linked with a move for Luis, but Jakirovic has revealed that the player has opted for a permanent transfer to another team.
Why it matters for Ipswich Town
The news is a setback for Ipswich Town, who had been interested in signing Luis. The midfielder, who cost Burnley almost £21m earlier this summer, is a physical defensive midfielder who could have been a valuable addition to the Blues' squad. However, with Luis set to join another club, Ipswich Town will have to look elsewhere for a replacement.
What comes next?
Ipswich Town will now have to focus on finding another target to replace Luis. The club has been linked with several players this summer, and it remains to be seen whether they will be able to secure a deal for one of them. In the meantime, the Blues will have to rely on their existing squad to get them through the rest of the season.
