Lukic arrival continues Ipswich recruitment drive
Ipswich Town has completed the signing of midfielder Sasa Lukic from Fulham as its pre-season recruitment drive continues.
Lukic has signed a four-year contract with the Tractor Boys after spending three years at Craven Cottage, with the Ipswich reportedly paying 拢9 million ($17.2 million) for his services.
Gary O'Neill's team has been busy in the market as it aims to prepare for its return to the Premier League.
During his time at Fulham, Lukic made 109 appearances across all competitions, 74 of which were starts, registering three goals and four assists in that time.
"I am proud to sign for this club," Lukic said. "I know there is a great history here and some brilliant supporters, so I can't wait to get started.
"I have played at Portman Road before in the Premier League and the atmosphere was one of the best I have experienced. I can't wait to play here as a home player.
"I am a box-to-box player who gives my all every time I am on the pitch, and I'm excited to meet everyone and get started."
Lukic strengthens Ipswich's midfield options and is the second signing the Tractor Boys have made from Fulham, having also completed a deal for defender Issa Diop.
"Sasa is a player who brings real experience to the squad heading into the new season," Ipswich boss O'Neil said of his new arrival.
"Having played nearly 100 games in the Premier League, he knows what it takes to compete in the division and has been a consistent performer throughout his time at Fulham.
"We are delighted to have him with us and further strengthen an important area of the pitch."
Ipswich begins its Premier League campaign at home to Sunderland on 23 August.
