Ipswich signs Chiedozie Ogbene from Luton

Premier League side Ipswich Town has completed the £8 million signing of winger Chiedozie Ogbene from Luton Town.  The Ireland international, who has Nigerian heritage, has signed a four-year contract at Portman Road.

Ogbene’s arrival marks Ipswich’s tenth signing since their return to the Premier League.

The Tractor Boys were seeking a forward to replace Wes Burns, who suffered a hamstring injury in their opening-day defeat to Liverpool.

“I’m thrilled to have this opportunity to play in the Premier League again,” Ogbene told Ipswich Town FC’s website.

“The manager’s belief in me and his vision for my role in the team mean a lot to me and my family.”
