Enciso joins Ipswich on loan

Brighton midfielder Julio Enciso has joined Ipswich on a loan deal until the end of the season.

The Paraguayan international, who turned 21 today, has made 12 Premier League appearances this season for the Seagulls, including a short cameo at Old Trafford on Sunday in their victory against Manchester United.

Speaking to TownTV about the move, Enciso said: "I am so happy to be here. The conversations with the manager have been good. I am very grateful to him and the club for believing in me. I'm a real fighter and I will do my best in every game."

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler said: "Julio wants to play regularly and that is not something we can guarantee with so many options in our attacking positions.

"Ipswich have offered Julio the possibility of more regular game time, and the move is the right one for all concerned.

"We will keep a close eye on his progress as the season continues, and we wish him well for his time with Ipswich."

Enciso has made 57 appearances for Albion, scoring four goals, including the Premier League Goal of the Season for the 2022-23 season after his incredible strike against Manchester City.
