Wilson Odobert is a winger for Burnley, and Ipswich Town is keen to sign him. TEAMtalk reported last
week that the Tractor Boys are increasing their interest in the wide player, but they are not alone in their pursuit of the Frenchman. Other “big clubs” are rumored to be in the running for the Frenchman, which is unfortunate for Ipswich, as they are pursuing Odobert as a possible replacement for Jaden Philogene, who chose to re-join Aston Villa. It is possible that the Clarets will be forced to cash in on the player to finance some additions, as they have already been active in the transfer market this summer.Their only significant summer sale was Arijanet Muric, who was acquired by Ipswich for an alleged £8 million. Others like Lawrence Vigouroux, Bailey Peacock-Farrell, and Samuel Bastien would not have made as much money if they had left.
However, as evidenced by the arrival of players like Etienne Green, Lucas Pires, Mike Tresor, Andreas Hountondji, and Maxime Esteve this summer for transfer fees, they haven’t been reluctant to shell out a respectable chunk of money to acquire players.
Given that the Lancashire team now has a large roster, it is obvious that some players will need to leave in order to balance the books and reduce the salary expenditure.
One player that might depart before the summer transfer window shuts is Odobert.
Burnley’s Wilson Odobert shines against Luton Town
Along with Luca Koleosho, Vitinho, and Lyle Foster, among other really skilled attackers, the attacker started the match against Luton Town.
However, Josh Brownhill scored the first goal of the season for the Clarets after a through ball.
And it was yet another long through ball that gave the visitors their second goal at Kenilworth Road. Odobert was able to use his pace and sneak the ball past Thomas Kaminski thanks to Connor Roberts’ delivery.
In order to seize this fantastic opportunity, he displayed remarkable speed. He then fired the ball home to put the Clarets and Hatters ahead by a significant margin.
He was highly received when he replaced Luke McNally late in the game, as he had played well all night and seemed like a serious threat. His efforts helped lead the Lancashire team to a convincing 4-1 victory on the road against a team that could challenge for promotion.
Odobert’s Monday night performance could make it harder for the Tractor Boys to get a deal done for him for a few different reasons.
First of all, Ipswich might be at a disadvantage in this contest because other teams would have shown interest in him after witnessing that performance.
In addition, if more teams bid for him, his price may increase. This is not good for a team that will be watching its expenditure, even after being promoted to the Premier League.
Second, regardless of whether other teams show interest in the player or not, his price tag might have increased following yesterday night.
Having demonstrated his value in front of the television cameras, the Clarets might have changed their mind about the asking price for him.
In addition, Scott Parker, the manager, would be desperate to hang onto the player after witnessing him be a vital component of such a convincing victory over Rob Edwards’ team.
He appears to be a crucial component of Parker’s plans, which may make it more challenging for Kieran McKenna’s team to enlist him.His performance on Monday night undoubtedly hindered Ipswich’s efforts to get the top player for the Clarets.
Wes Burns, Marcus Harness, and Omari Hutchinson are capable of serving as wide alternatives; nevertheless, McKenna would gain by Odobert’s addition as the Frenchman can also function as a central player.
