Premier League promoted Ipswich targets Nederlandse keeper Scherpen

Vandaag, Ipswich Town, freshly promoted to the Premier League, have signalled interest in the Nederlandse goalkeeper Kjell Scherpen, 26, whose market value is reported at around seven million euros. According to , the Engelse club view the Nederlander as a potential addition to strengthen the squad under the posts. The summer window could see the 26‑year‑old become a sought‑after transfer target.

Scherpen finished a strong season with Union Saint‑Gilloise in België, emerging as one of the team’s key pillars. De Dutch keeper kept sixteen clean sheets, helped the side win the Belgian cup and impressed in Europees competition. According to club reports, his contract runs until mid‑2028, limiting any forced move.

Interest in the Nederlander does not come from the lucht; clubs from Engeland, Duitsland and Italië have been linked to the 26‑year‑old. The Duitse SC Freiburg was named among possible destinations, while several Engelse sides have also monitored his progress.

Last summer Union reportedly paid roughly two million euros to Brighton & Hove Albion for Scherpen. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value stands at about seven million euros. Whether Ipswich will submit a bid remains unclear.

If Ipswich decides to act, the Premier League club will need to negotiate with Union before the transfer window closes, potentially adding a proven Belgian league performer to their roster.
