Ipswich were tipped, by many, to achieve an immediate promotion back to the top flight under Kieran McKenna before the second tier season commenced on August 8th, with many believing the Northern Irishman and his somewhat new-look side would eventually overpower all 23 of their divisional rivals en route to promotion or, in many cases, the Championship title.
At present, the Tractor Boys are residing in third, having accumulated a tally of 37 points from their first 22 league outings, with their most recent success being a dominant 3-1 victory against the division’s bottom club, Sheffield Wednesday, at Portman Road.
A 10th victory of the season was also enough to see the Blues narrow the gap between themselves and the automatic promotion places to just five points with 24 games still to play, with Middlesbrough succumbing to a 2-0 defeat at Bristol City.
Given the benefit of parachute payments, Town were able to attract a raft of experienced and high-quality players in the summer, including the Championship’s all-time record incoming, Sindre Walle Egeli.
As such, adding Johnson to what is an already mouth-watering attack by Championship standards would be a huge statement of intent from Ipswich.
