BREAKING: Ipswich Town Blues ‘Working on Deal’ For Top MLS striker Targeted by Multiple Top Flight Clubs

Last night, Fabrizio Romano claimed that Championship side Derby County were looking to sign the 24-year-old, but GiveMeSport have since added that the Blues are also in the mix, although no agreement has been reached with regards to a transfer fee.

Belgian outfit Genk are also credited with interest, while Charlotte are believed to have rejected a bid from Luton Town back in January.

Agyemang has only ever played in the United States, having come through the ranks at Eastern Connecticut Warriors, Rhode Island Rams and Western Mass Pioneers before eventually earning his MLS move with Charlotte in 2023.

A nine-cap US international, he has six goals and an assist in 16 games so far this season. His total record for Charlotte is 17 goals in 59 games.

He’s currently away at the CONCACAF Gold Cup, having scored twice in three games for Mauricio Pochettino’s side.

Alex’s verdict

A lot to like about this one. Agyemang fits the physical profile at 6’4′, and while he lacks pace, he’s shown he can be a powerful no.9 and a real threat in the box.

There are also some concerns. The jump from MLS to English football is the biggest one. Coming into a team with aspirations of securing automatic promotion would be a big ask, although it would likely be a supporting role behind George Hirst in the pecking order.

The source is reliable, coming from Tom Bogert, so this is one to watch. There’s real competition to sign him, but a Championship move sounds likely.
