Ipswich Town welcomes Jens Cajuste from Napoli
He's joining on loan until the end of the season
Swedish international Jens Cajuste is joining Ipswich Town on loan from Napoli until the end of the season.
The 25-year-old midfielder came through the ranks at Swedish side Orgryte before making the move to FC Midtjylland in 2018, where he won two Danish cups and a Danish Superliga title across a four-year period with the club.
A spell in Ligue 1 followed for Jens, who spent a season at Reims, and then he signed for Napoli in August 2023, making 26 Serie A appearances.
This summer he has played twice for Sweden, against Denmark and Serbia.
In total, he has earned 23 caps for his country’s senior side.
Jens also arrives at Portman Road with European experience having featured in the Champions League for both FC Midtjylland and Gli Azzurri.
"I'm happy to be here"
“This feels great and I’m happy to be here,” Jens told TownTV.
“It took a little while with the negotiations but I’m finally here and I’m very excited.
“I’ve had great conversations with the Manager and this seems like a very interesting project. It’s an ambitious club and a team that is progressing.
“I’m a player that works hard and I want to contribute in attack and defence. I want to play as much as possible and I’ll be looking to get some good tackles in!"
"He puts us in a strong position"
Kieran McKenna added: “We’re really happy to add Jens to the squad.
“He gives us another different profile to our midfield and puts us in a strong position in that department.
“Jens has a lot of experience across top leagues in Europe and in international football. He brings good physical and technical qualities to the squad and he is a very dedicated and committed professional.”
