If £4m is the reported fee that’s great business

Ipswich Town have signed former loan striker George Hirst on a four-year deal from Leicester City. 

The EADT and Ipswich Star understands the transfer fee is in the region of £1.5m. That has the potential to rise significantly with add-ons, but even if all clauses are hit it won’t match the club-record £4.5m paid for goalkeeper Matteo Sereni in 2001.

He becomes the fifth seven-figure signing under the club's American owners following on from the additions of Leif Davis (Leeds, £1m+), Nathan Broadhead (Everton, £1.5m), Harry Clarke (Arsenal, £1m) and Jack Taylor (Peterborough, £1.5m).

Hirst, 24, scored seven goals for the Blues during the second half of last season – including vital ones in wins at Bolton, Derby and Barnsley – to help Kieran McKenna’s men secure promotion to the Championship.

It's understood that he won't fly to Austria for the latter stages of a week-long training camp but will instead join up with the squad on Monday and could be involved in next Wednesday's friendly at Preston.

Probably broke even on him in the end. £1.5m in the kitty and another £20k pw (he types, trying not to weep on his keyboard!) off the wage bill.

I think due to the rule-bending and effort we went to on this that we had hoped/expected he'd be a potential Premier league player.

 

Best of luck to him.

We all queried why on earth he signed a new deal last summer, but a year on we've got £1.5m for him and possibly a few more coming in add ons. One of the few decent bits of business we've secured recently. 

 

That's a 1-0 win for them and Hirst scoring this season though.

Have Sheff Wed got a sell-on clause? 

Nah, we bought him from Leuven who will have only paid a very nominal fee to Sheff Wed to get him

 

Then our deal with Leuven was undisclosed
