Their first stiff test in the new season will be at home versus Liverpool, and it could jolly well turn out to be a victorious start if the words of Aluko are anything to go by.
This is sequel to a declaration by the 35-year-old well-travelled ex-international, who earlier played for both Nigeria and England at youth level, as he is determined to hit the ground running.
“It is a real privilege to start the next phase of my career by joining the first team coaching staff here.
“It is a great time to be st Ipswich, and I’m really looking forward to helping the squad continue to learn and take on the challenge of the Premier League.”
