Ipswich Town news: Blues may look beyond World Cup breakout stars

It's the ultimate shop window: a World Cup with 48 teams - all packed with players eager to show what they can do on the biggest stage.

With the transfer window now open, BBC Sport journalists have been taking a look at some of the key names being discussed.

A proven goalscorer is likely to be one of Ipswich Town's priorities this summer when it comes to bringing in new players, but how many of those shining at the World Cup would be interested in a move to Suffolk remains to be seen.

Cyle Larin feels like one that got away having watched him find the net for Canada against Qatar. He'll remain with last season's Championship rivals Southampton having made his impressive loan switch a permanent one.

Away from the World Cup, Ipswich have been linked with Italian teenager Jeff Ekhator who certainly could be one for the future.

Four goals from 54 league appearances for Genoa doesn't get the juices flowing, though, and I'd sooner see Town opt for an older head in Callum Wilson, who does at least have a proven track record in the Premier League.
