The 18-year-old, who is predominantly an attacker, joined Man City academy from Reading’s but so far in the Man City academy and under-18s, he has impressed.
In the previous season, the attacker picked up 3 goals in the Under-18 Premier League.
So far, within his time at Man City, the attacker has impressed but not broken through to the first team, so the Manchester based side has decided to let Luca Fletcher. leave on loan.
Ipswich Starting Poor And Where To Improve
As for Ipswich, who have started the season poorly after being relegated from the Premier League and are currently sitting in 20th on 3 points. Luca Fletcher.will add pressure to the first team, with him playing in Ipswich’s academy, and could add more depth to Ipswich’s front line, especially in the future if Ipswich decide to buy the youngster, with attackers looking to depart, and the youngster will pick up valuable experience and a run of games in the academy as the attacker is not a part of the managers plans according to Ben Jacobs.
A player who is an out and out attacker could be what Ipswich need, with added pressure on the first team, and will be a good asset for the future if Ipswich do bounce back to the Premier League.
With Fabrizio Romano stating that the deal includes a buy back and sell on clause, this means that Man City are looking towards the future, so that if the attacker impresses, they have the option to bring him back and sell on clause because Ipswich could get a substantial amount for the Man City talent in the future after developing Luca Fletcher.
