Ipswich hit gold selling hero who'd be worth more than Szmodics in 2024

Ipswich hit gold selling hero who'd be worth more than Szmodics in 2024

Ipswich Town might well be savouring the time off they're experiencing this international break, having been faced with a difficult opening few Premier League ties.

Liverpool and Manchester City one after the other to open their top-flight campaign was a cruel opening combo, whilst Marco Silva's Fulham weren't exactly pushovers either.

Losing to both the Reds and City was to be expected, but Kieran McKenna will take some comfort from the fact they at least managed to pick up a point versus the Cottagers to get off the mark in the league.

Liam Delap scored in that 1-1 draw, but Ipswich's most memorable goal of the season actually came away at the Etihad, when new recruit Sammie Szmodics momentarily put the Tractor Boys ahead.

Szmodics will hope he has plenty more moments of magic like that up his sleeve across the tiring season to come, but with his new Suffolk employers ending up victorious and not losing 4-1.

The former Peterborough United man joined the ranks at Portman Road as a renowned deadly finisher of chances, having picked up the Championship golden boot for another of his ex clubs in Blackburn Rovers just last season, by firing home 27 strikes.
