Former Reims midfielder extends his stay at Ipswich Town
A former Stade de Reims midfielder from a few seasons ago will remain in England for the upcoming campaign. Jens Cajuste (25) will be back at Portman Road for the 2025-26 season after reigning Serie A champions SSC Napoli allowed him to return to Ipswich Town on loan. The Swedish midfielder had just one goal for Kieran McKenna's side domestically last season in a 4-2 defeat against Nottingham Forest back in March. That strike was voted the Premier League Goal of the Month. Cajuste played two seasons in Ligue 1 for Reims, scoring a combined five goals in 39 appearances in that competition. The Champagne club, who were relegated to Ligue 2 last season, signed him in January 2022 for a reported fee of €10m from Midtjylland in the Danish Super League. In August 2023, he moved from France to Serie A, signing a five-year contract at Napoli for a reported fee of €12m. He made 26 appearances for them in the 2023-24 Italian top-flight season. Ipswich were relegated to the Championship this season but are favourites to climb back up to the top flight alongside Southampton, who are managed by Will Still, who coached Cajuste in his final season at Reims. He was a part of the Sweden squad at Euro 2020, a tournament which was delayed by a year because of COVID. Cajuste has picked up a total of 25 caps for the Swedish senior squad and has yet to find the back of the net. GFFN | Joel Lefevre
