Ipswich Town goalkeeper Kayne Van Oevelen is ‘all set to fly’ to Valencia to seal a loan deal with the Spanish side.
Superdeporte report that the 23-year-old has been left out of Ipswich’s squad for the season, despite only joining in the summer transfer window.
That’s left him edging closer to becoming Valencia’s latest addition. The Dutch goalkeeper is all set to travel to Valencia to finalise a season-long loan deal. Ipswich Town have now given the green light for him to do so.
The move had been in the works for several days. Now, all signs point to the goalkeeper being added to Carlos Corberán’s squad.
Ipswich Town exit explained
Superdeporte report that the ‘latest clues’ pointing to his departure have come directly from Ipswich.
The Premier League side released a video featuring 26 players Gary O’Neil is counting on this season. Kayne van Oevelen did not appear among them.
The Dutchman had been included in the full squad list published by the club a couple of days earlier. He had also been assigned the number 31 shirt. So, the feeling in Spain is that his absence was ‘significant’.
It appears that Ipswich will go with Kjell Scherpen, Christian Walton, and Alex Palmer. The former has already spoken about discussions with his fellow Dutchman about the situation, Sport Witness covered his comments last week.
Monday arrival
Although Kayne Van Oevelen’s move to Valencia has been delayed by a few days, the deal was never at risk.
Journalist Héctor Gómez of Tribuna VCF has even confirmed that the goalkeeper would arrive in Valencia on Monday.
He stated that the goalkeeper had been asked to stay at Ipswich for a few extra days to ‘help the team’. That was likely due to Palmer being absent with an elbow issue over the last few weeks.
Now he appears destined to move to Valencia over the coming days. The feeling in Spain is that everything is now in place for him to move to the Mestalla and become their sixth signing of the summer.
