Egeli, 19, is a Norway international with one cap under his belt so far in his career. He penned a long-term contract at Portman Road running until the summer of 2030.
Journalist Bailey has delivered his verdict, as per a report by EFL Analysis: “Ipswich in the end got Wille Egeli over the line, and he is a sensational signing. He could very well be one of the signings of the summer. I think he’s going to be one of the best players in the Championship.
“It was quality and quantity for Ipswich this summer. I think at some point we’ll just see that make the difference, the sheer quantity of top quality players they brought in. You’ve got Jens Cajuste, Marcelino Nunez, Kasey McAteer, all of whom, fair enough, they may not be Premier League quality but they’re just better than everything else in the Championship. I think Sindre Walle Egeli, though, is proper Premier League quality and we’ll see him stand out this season.”

Ipswich Town have signed Egeli to boost their attacking department. He will give ITFC more competition and depth up top.
The prospect has a bright future ahead of him in the game. He will be eager to hit the ground running immediately with the Tractor Boys.
Egeli broke into FC Nordsjælland’s first-team in 2023 and didn’t look back. He went on to make 43 appearances for the Danish Superliga side in all competitions and fired 11 goals, two of which came in this campaign.

What now for Ipswich Town and Sindre Walle Egeli?
Ipswich Town are back in action on Friday after the international break. ITFC face a home clash against out of form Sheffield United.
Egeli is in line to make his debut for the Tractor Boys. It remains to be seen whether he will start for Kieran McKenna’s side or will be utilised from the bench.
It has been a slow start for the Suffolk club so far this term. They are yet to win in their first four fixtures and have drawn three times.
Ipswich Town drew 2-2 with Derby County last time out. Jacob Greaves and Jack Clarke got their goals against the Rams.
Their upcoming opponents Sheffield United have lost all of their competitive matches under new head coach Ruben Selles, who has had spells in the past at Southampton, Reading and Hull City. He is under pressure from the Blades’ fanbase already.
