Ipswich goalkeeper Muric joins Sassuolo on loan

Arijanet Muric made 18 Premier League appearances for Ipswich last season and also played in the top flight for Burnley

Ipswich Town goalkeeper Arijanet Muric has joined Italian Serie A club Sassuolo on a season-long loan.

The 26-year-old made 18 appearances for Town last season during their one-year stay in the Premier League after moving from Burnley last summer for an initial £10m.

Muric was eventually displaced as Town's number-one choice during the second half of last season by Alex Palmer, who was signed from West Bromwich Albion in January, and missed the final 11 league matches with a shoulder injury.

Kosovo international Muric began his senior career at Manchester City, where he made five appearances in the club's Carabao-Cup winning campaign in 2018-19 but was dropped for the final by Pep Guardiola in favour of first-choice keeper Ederson.

After several loan including spells with Nottingham Forest and in the Netherlands, Spain and Turkey, Muric signed for Burnley ahead of their successful Premier-League promotion campaign in 2022-23.
