Ipswich Town have signed former Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe on a one year deal, with the option for a further year.

The 25 year old, a free agent, left his boyhood club last in the summer.

He'd made 37 apperances for the first team, along enjoying loan spells at Aston Villa, Napoli and Stoke City.

Speaking to the Ipswich Town website, Axel said: "It feels great to finally get the deal over the line.”

“I had conversations with the manager earlier in the summer, having worked with him previously, and it’s great to have a familiar face. Knowing the calibre of coach he is, it was a good decision to come here because I know the standards he has and how thorough he is.

“The stadium, pitch and training ground are top notch and the group is humble, willing to work and everyone wants to take the Club into a better position.

“I am delighted to be here and can’t wait to get started.”
