Johnson was a wanted man - can Ipswich provide the regular action he craves?

It was a surprising phone call for Ben Johnson, who received an offer from Real Betis through his former teammate Pablo Fornals. However, Johnson had already decided to join Ipswich Town. The 24-year-old defender signed a four-year deal with the Premier League newcomers. Johnson rejected a five-year contract from West Ham and chose Ipswich Town for their ambitions and promised first-team football. Johnson’s lack of game time at West Ham led him to explore other options, including Crystal Palace, Rangers, Leeds United, Southampton, and Fulham. He is known for his versatility, being comfortable in both full-back roles and even in midfield.
