Wilson Odobert, a winger for Burnley, is reportedly being targeted by Ipswich Town, sources have told Football Insider.
Despite Burnley’s Premier League relegation last season, the 19-year-old was one of their bright spots.
After losing out on Jaden Philogene, who returned to Aston Villa, Ipswich is looking to add more offensive depth, and they are now aiming to sign Odobert, a France Under-23 international.
With the arrivals of Omari Hutchinson, Jacob Greaves, and Liam Delap, the Premier League’s new boys have had an extremely busy transfer window thus far this summer.
Odobert is a player that Kieran McKenna and his staff feel might play a key role in creating a team that can escape relegation.

After joining Burnley from French club Troyes, Odobert made 33 appearances in his debut season, tallying three goals and dishing out three assists.
The 19-year-old is a versatile winger capable of playing on either right or left but prefers to be on the left-hand side so he can cut in and take on defenders.
Ipswich are after a new winger after they lost out on the signing of Philogene and Odobert offers Premier League experience while still being young.
Burnley would be inclined to keep Odobert but may be forced to reluctantly sell the winger if he pushes for a move back to the Premier League.
