Ipswich Town and Coventry City were both on the radar of William Boving during the summer transfer window, with hopes of securing the talents of the Danish player. The Tractor Boys had ambitions of making a swift return to the Premier League, while the Sky Blues aimed to rectify past near misses and secure promotion back to the top flight.
Both clubs were active in the transfer market, with Ipswich Town making more significant moves compared to Coventry City. There were reported overlaps in the transfer targets pursued by the two clubs, including the promising Boving.
However, despite the speculation linking him to Ipswich Town and Coventry City, William Boving ultimately opted to sign for German side FSV Mainz in a deal worth €3 million. Since his move to Mainz, Boving’s impact on the team has been limited. While he has started in a few games, he has mostly found himself on the bench, seeing minimal playing time and registering just one shot so far this season.
Meanwhile, the striking departments of Ipswich Town and Coventry City have seen differing fortunes. Ipswich Town has relied on the goal-scoring prowess of Haji Wright and Brandon Thomas-Asante, while Coventry City’s George Hirst has been among the goals. Despite some solid performances, Ipswich Town may still be considering reinforcements in the striker department in the upcoming January transfer window. However, it is unlikely that William Boving will be a target for Ipswich Town given his recent move to Mainz.
