Heartbreaking Ispwich Town Head Coach die in a Car Cr……
AFC Wimbledon have signed Ipswich Town forward Osman Foyo on a two-and-a-half-year contract.
The 20-year-old, who was born in the Netherlands, has spent time on loan at Torquay United, Welling United and Chelmsford City.
He has scored 12 goals in 20 appearances in National League South for Chelmsford this season.
“I’ve been waiting weeks to get this done and I feel this is a place where I can really kickstart my career,” he told the club’s website.
I can’t wait to get out, score goals and make our fans happy. I’m powerful, quick and strong – I’ll use my qualities to help me get in the team and stay there.”
Foyo becomes the Wombles’ second signing of the January transfer window after former Oxford midfielder Marcus Browne joined the club until the end of the season.
Ipswich winger Wes Burns is out for the rest of the season after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament during last weekend’s defeat at Liverpool.
The 30-year-old Wales international will have surgery next week.
Burns has featured in 18 of Ipswich’s 23 Premier League games so far this season.
“He’s seeing the very best people,” said Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna.
It’s not a very complicated tear, I believe. You can never call an ACL straightforward, but it’s an orthodox procedure and everyone is really positive about the prognosis.
“Of course he’ll miss the rest of the season, and we’ll miss him, but he’ll be well looked after.”
Burns is the second Tractor Boys winger to suffer a season-ending injury after Chiedozie Ogbene sustained a torn Achilles in October.
“Wes and Chieo Ogbene are pretty unique profiles for us, so to lose both of them in the course of one season, and with the qualities that they have being so important to our system, it is a blow. That is what it is,” added McKenna.
