Kieran McKenna will be feeling optimistic after Ipswich Town’s resilient 1-1 draw at Aston Villa, despite being reduced to 10 men in the first half. The battling point has boosted their survival hopes, and they now set their sights on surprising Tottenham Hotspur next at Portman Road.
McKenna knows that any positive results moving forward will be driven by star forwards like Liam Delap and Omari Hutchinson.

Delap was involved in a brilliant goal against Villa, with Hutchinson’s quick thinking playing a major role in the assist. Their lethal combination has caused problems for top-flight defenses, and Ipswich hopes to repeat this success against Spurs.
While Hutchinson, with his £20m price tag, continues to impress, another under-the-radar star in McKenna’s squad is Leif Davis, who is now valued at an impressive £21m.

Having originally cost Ipswich just £1m, Davis has proven to be a crucial part of the team, contributing 21 assists during the promotion-winning campaign and three assists in the Premier League so far this season. His rising value reflects his continued growth, with pundits praising his “remarkable” performances.
Ipswich, even if relegated, can be proud of their smart signings like Davis. The rising transfer value of their stars highlights the club’s good business, with the potential for even more success in the future. However, McKenna’s side may face a battle to keep Davis if they drop to the Championship, with his value continuing to soar.
