Ipswich Town<\/a> have signed winger Julio Enciso and midfielder Abdoul Ouattara from French club Strasbourg.<\/p>\n

Paraguay international Enciso, 22, and Ivorian Ouattara, 20, have both penned five-year contracts with the Tractor Boys. <\/p>\n

The reported combined fee for both players has the potential to reach \u00a347.3m, with both players having played for boss Gary O’Neil in France.<\/p>\n

Enciso, who spent three years at Brighton<\/a>, spent the second half of the 2024-25 campaign on loan at Portman Road before moving to Strasbourg. <\/p>\n

“I am so happy to be back at Ipswich Town<\/a>,” he said.<\/p>\n

“I really enjoyed my time on loan at the club and I was so happy to see them win promotion back to the Premier League last season. <\/p>\n

“I worked with the manager in France last season and the chance to play for him again at a great club like Ipswich is one I’m very excited for.”<\/p>\n

Ouattara made 45 appearances for Strasbourg in the French top flight and was part of the side that reached the Uefa Conference League semi-finals last season.<\/p>\n

“I am still young but have had some good experiences already and I can’t wait to meet the fans and my team-mates and get started,” Ouattara said.<\/p>\n

Since securing promotion from the Championship last season, Ipswich have spent \u00a3150m with the acquisitions of Ouattara and Enciso taking them up to 12 major signings.<\/p>\n

Ipswich begin their Premier League campaign at home to Sunderland<\/a> on 22 August.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ipswich Town have signed winger Julio Enciso and midfielder Abdoul Ouattara from French club Strasbourg.
