Ipswich Town’s recent string of victories, including a 2-0 win against Plymouth Argyle, has propelled them into second place in the league, rekindling hopes of a promotion. Despite a mid-season slump that saw Leeds and Southampton narrow the gap, Ipswich’s recent form has put them back on track. The team’s success has been a collective effort, but Kieffer Moore’s arrival from AFC Bournemouth on loan has been particularly impactful. The towering striker has scored five goals in seven appearances, making a significant contribution to the team’s resurgence.
Henry, a pundit and Ipswich fan, believes that securing Moore’s services beyond the current season should be a priority for the club. He attributes the team’s pre-Christmas struggles to the absence of a striker like Moore, who can provide a physical presence and score goals consistently. Henry also praises Moore’s off-the-ball movement and link-up play, which have created space for other attacking players to thrive.
Looking ahead, Moore’s long-term future at Bournemouth seems uncertain. The Cherries were willing to let him leave on loan in January, and with Dominic Solanke and Enes Unal as senior options up front, Moore may not have a guaranteed place in the team. His loan deal with Ipswich expires in the summer of 2025, and it’s likely that Bournemouth will consider selling him to secure regular playing time elsewhere.
Ipswich Town will assess their options in the summer, taking into account their promotion prospects and transfer budget. If Moore continues to perform well and Ipswich secures promotion, they may prioritize signing him permanently. His partnership with George Hirst could form a potent attacking duo, providing the team with the firepower needed to compete at a higher level.
