McKenna is contemplating letting go of an Ipswich Town player who earns twice the salary of Leif Davis.
Despite Ipswich Town’s recent struggles in the Championship, Kieran McKenna remains somewhat satisfied with his team’s overall performance this season, especially considering their recent promotion to this level. However, he recognizes the need to evaluate his squad soon and identify players who may not be contributing effectively.
One such player under scrutiny is Axel Tuanzebe, a former Manchester United defender who commands a hefty wage but has failed to impress on the pitch, making only ten league appearances since joining last summer. His performances have been lackluster, leading to questions about his future with the club.
Tuanzebe’s substantial salary, reportedly £20,000 per week, is particularly concerning given his underwhelming contributions compared to players like Leif Davis, who earns less but has been a standout performer for Ipswich. Davis has been instrumental in securing victories with his creative play, contrasting with Tuanzebe’s struggles.

Despite Tuanzebe’s high wage, many players who were key to Ipswich’s promotion from League One are earning less, highlighting the disparity in contributions versus compensation. McKenna’s desire to extract the best from Tuanzebe due to their previous connection at Manchester United may not materialize, as his performances fail to justify his salary.
McKenna faces a decision regarding Tuanzebe’s future at Ipswich Town, considering his poor performances relative to his high wage, with the possibility of parting ways at the end of the season.
