Championship club near deal for sought-after Ipswich Town star
07/05/2024 07:54 AM
Ipswich Town midfielder Idris El Mizouni is closing in on a move to Oxford United, according to a report from TWTD.
Ipswich Town sent Tunisian talent El Mizouni out on a new loan deal last summer. He reunited with Leyton Orient, where he aided their promotion charge in the 2022/23 season.
Back at Brisbane Road, the 23-year-old helped the O’s enjoy a fruitful first campaign back at League One level.
El Mizouni is now back at Portman Road though, where his future has been brought into question. Promotion means a role in Kieran McKenna’s side is highly unlikely and his contract is up in 2025, so now is the ideal time for the Tractor Boys to cash in.
Now, TWTD reports that a move to Oxford United is moving closer.
The U’s have been linked alongside former loan club Orient, while it has been said as recently as Friday morning that Barnsley are keen.
However, talks are ongoing over a move to the Kassam Stadium and a deal is close. They add that Derby County have been monitoring the situation, but Oxford are leading the chase for the out of favour Ipswich Town midfielder.
