Iván Azón Set for Ipswich Town Loan as Deal With Como Finalized

Iván Azón will join Ipswich Town from Como on a short-term loan. All paperwork is approved, and he will have a medical exam in the UK in the next 24 hours.

HOW THE DEAL CAME TOGETHER

Iván Azón, a Spanish striker, is leaving Serie A team Como to join Ipswich Town on loan for the 2025-26 season. Como coach Cesc Fàbregas has confirmed that the deal is complete. Ipswich quickly took care of all documents and player registration. Ipswich Town has made a significant loan offer for Iván Azón, reported to be €2 million in upfront fees, which played a vital role in facilitating this move.

There were moments of uncertainty, but both clubs finally reached an agreement. They arranged a fast medical check and contract signing for Azón in England. The loan should help Ipswich improve their attack as they aim for a strong Championship season.

IPSWICH’S SEASON SO FAR

Ipswich Town started the new Championship season aiming to do better than last year’s promotion try. They are now in the top half of the standings, with several points off the top spots but still within reach. Ipswich Town aims to avoid drop this season and strive for a higher position in the table, as they expect to challenge for promotion again in 2024-25.

Recent games have been inconsistent, showing a need for more goals and extra attacking players. Last season, Azón impressed for Como, scoring 8 goals and providing 3 assists in 32 Serie A matches. His joining will give manager Kieran McKenna more options and create good competition in the forward line.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

Azón is set to arrive in the UK in the next 24 hours. His medical check and contract signing are planned before the week ends. If everything goes well, Azón could make his debut for Ipswich Town in their next match against Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship, a game crucial for both teams who are targeting playoff spots.

Southampton are just above Ipswich in the current standings, with only a few points between them. Both teams are chasing playoff spots, making this match important early in the season. Ipswich hopes that Azón’s addition will help them close the gap to the leaders and boost their promotion chances.
