Dara O'Shea Makes Quick Premier League Return With £15m Move From Burnley To Ipswich Town

O'Shea spent just one season at Turf Moor, having joined from West Bromwich Albion in the summer of 2023, and was part of the Burnley side that suffered relegation from the Premier League last season.

However, he has made a quick return to the top flight with the move to the Premier League newcomers for a £15m transfer fee.

The Republic of Ireland international is joining an Ipswich side who have lost their opening two Premier League games of the season to Liverpool and Manchester City.

"I'm really excited to sign for the club," the 25-year-old told TownTV.

"It was really hard not to pay attention to everything the team was able to achieve last season, and to have the chance to join a club with such ambition and momentum was really attractive. 

"I want to play in the Premier League and test myself against the best players in the world, which is something I want to do for as long as possible, and I can't think of a better place to do that."
