Sweden midfielder Jens Cajuste has joined Ipswich on loan from Napoli until the end of the season.

The 25-year-old, who has been capped 23 times, made 26 appearances in Serie A for Napoli last season after joining from French side Reims.

Cajuste won a Danish Superliga title with FC Midtjylland before moving to Ligue 1. He also played Champions League football for Midtjylland.

“We’re really happy to add Jens to the squad,” said Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna.

“He gives us another different profile to our midfield and puts us in a strong position in that department.

“Jens has a lot of experience across top leagues in Europe and in international football. He brings good physical and technical qualities to the squad and he is a very dedicated and committed professional.”

Cajuste welcomed the move, saying: “It took a little while with the negotiations but I’m finally here and I’m very excited.

“I’ve had great conversations with the manager and this seems like a very interesting project. It’s an ambitious club and a team that is progressing.”

Promoted Ipswich began their first Premier League campaign since 2021-22 with a 2-0 home defeat by Liverpool on Saturday.
