🚨🚜 Iván Azón to Ipswich Town, here we go! Deal done with Como for Spanish striker to join on loan.

Exclusive details: initial €2m as loan fee.

In case of promotion to Premier League, #ITFC will activate buy obligation clause worth slightly under €15m.

Looking at the #EFL Championship the only predictions I can make at the moment is Ipswich win the league as they have the best squad & the most money #ITFC

At the opposite end it's Sheffield Wednesday who are rock solid certainties for relegation unless they get sold fast as their owner is killing the club #SWFC

Some wholesome Jack Hinshelwood content from the Euros in Slovakia...he's playing well, full-back inverting into midfield, reading danger, coping well with the heat/opposition and he has an England dream...

When Alexis Mac Allister returned to Brighton & Hove Albion after winning the 2022 World Cup with Argentina, Hinshelwood was waiting in reception with all the squad and staff and a huge confetti cannon. Mac Allister was showered with blue and white confetti when he walked in.

“It was a very special moment,” Hinshelwood recalls. “It was amazing to have a World Cup winner at Brighton and he got a great reception.” Hinshelwood got to see Mac Allister’s medal. “I did, yeah. It was nice and made it all feel real. You know, a player from Brighton winning the World Cup.”

A target for him? “We’ll see.” Like all England Under-21s currently focused on defending their Uefa crown against Germany in Bratislava on Saturday, Hinshelwood’s longer-term target is the World Cup. He grew up watching the “Golden Generation” who failed to deliver. More recently, under Gareth Southgate, England went close. Now, at Under-21 level under Lee Carsley, England generate more of a winning culture, sending more winners into the senior squad.

“We've got to remain humble,” Hinshelwood says. “We’re in the Under-21s. We've got a great group and Lee always talks about how we need to break the mould of what people think of English football. We haven't won a major tournament for 60 years now. We're all looking to the future and there's a bright future. We know we have amazing individuals.

"Two years ago, they also had an amazing group and you see what those players are doing now (Palmer, Colwill, Gordon and others promoted to seniors). It's really inspiring for us and really gives us that extra motivation to want to reach that level. Right from the start we came in with a lot of belief that we can really do well in this tournament and go all the way.”

It helps having match-winners like Harvey Elliott. “We've got several of them in the group. Players who can produce moments of magic like Harvey did. Omari (Hutchinson) down the left was great throughout the game (against the Netherlands), causing all sorts of problems. Jay (Stansfield) upfront was a handful again. We've got a lot of players in the group who can cause problems for the opposition.” #ENG #U21EURO #BHAFC #LFC #ITFC #BCFC

Omari Hutchinson was one of the few England players who played with any real freedom in the (improved) second half against Germany at the Uefa Under-2s. The Ipswich Town winger, nurtured at Chelsea, Charlton and Arsenal, created Alex Scott’s goal in the 2-1 loss and spoke post-match on…

On the difference for the team and himself without centre-forward Liam Delap, his old Ipswich team-mate now off with Chelsea at the Club World Cup. “I guess you could say that he gives a different presence to the team and he makes some stuff easier than what other players can do. But, look, we've got a great squad. Everyone's able to play upfront.” But for Hutchinson himself, given their old Ipswich connection, is Delap missed? “Yeah. What he does off the ball and he's a goalscoring striker. So, yeah, it's kind of a shame he's not here.”

On which wing he prefers. “I'll probably say right, but as long as I'm playing, I don't care. He (Carsley) backs me to dominate my opponent and that's what I try to do at my best.”

On what went wrong in the first half against Germany? And what did Carsley say at half-time? “We were losing our duels, our second balls and that's the one thing that he's big on. He wasn’t happy.  Sometimes you need a wake-up call and second half we could have gotten another two goals. We haven't been clinical. I just had to put more intensity into my game and just keep getting at my man and hopefully get a nice cross, assist or goal.”

On the challenge posed by Spain in Saturday’s quarter-final. “They're very good on the ball, so we want to be dominant. We can be physically better than them. We’ve just got to physically outrun them and take them to the final whistle.We just want to be able to dominate and win by two goals really.”

On whether he will take a penalty. “Yeah, 100%.” On practising pens. “Sometimes but not really. At Ipswich I wasn't the penalty taker. Now there’s going to be pens then I'm going to start practising in training.”
