Ipswich Town are in advanced talks to sign West Ham United’s Ben Johnson, sources have told Football Insider.
The 24-year-old is out of contract with the Hammers and has rejected multiple extension offers, including an improved contract presented to him this month.
Johnson has now made up his mind to leave the London Stadium on a free, with newly promoted Ipswich being his likely next destination.
The Tractor Boys have offered better terms than West Ham, and even though there is interest from Leeds United and Rangers, Johnson would prefer to stay in the Premier League.
Being in England’s top flight is set to be a difference-maker for Ipswich in this particular transfer, as they’re expected to land his signature.
Ben Johnson brings Premier League experience to Ipswich Town
Bringing in players with Premier League experience is always important for a newly promoted club, and Johnson would provide exactly that.
The right-back has made 69 appearances in the Premier League for the Hammers, scoring twice.
He’s also played 12 times in the Europa League and made six Conference League appearances, bringing with him a vast amount of quality and knowledge.
The Tottenham Hotspur defender isn’t in Ange Postecoglou’s plans for the club, but the Tractor Boys face competition as fellow Premier League newcomers Leicester City and Southampton are also interested in signing him.
In other news, West Ham United are targeting a Wolverhampton Wanderers defender.
