Ipswich Town fans, buckle up — Emmanuel Latte Lath is back in the spotlight, and this time, it might just be for real.
Just months after his shock move to Atlanta United, Latte Lath’s name is once again echoing around Portman Road, with fresh reports claiming Kieran McKenna is reigniting a long-standing pursuit of the explosive Ivorian forward.
But here’s where it gets juicy…
💥 Latte Lath’s agent, Matthias Veneroso, has spoken out — and what he revealed could break Ipswich internet.
“It was simply an unexpected opportunity to realise a dream — he has always wanted to play in the Premier League,” Veneroso confessed in a headline-grabbing interview.
“That would have been a huge moment for him — life-changing, economically and professionally.”
“There was frustration after the last day of the window… not because of the club, but because the dream slipped through his fingers.”
Back in summer 2024, Ipswich reportedly tabled a £20 million bid for Latte Lath — a staggering figure that rocked the Championship. But the deal collapsed, and the striker’s mood nosedived along with it.
“He’s human,” Veneroso added. “He was focused on Middlesbrough, but when something that huge came unexpectedly, it was hard to manage.”
After netting 11 goals in the Championship, Latte Lath’s momentum stalled when he moved across the pond. With just 5 goals in 16 MLS games, his Atlanta adventure has been underwhelming.
But McKenna hasn’t forgotten.
As Liam Delap looks set to leave, Ipswich are desperately searching for firepower to launch their Premier League redemption arc. And Latte Lath — proven in the Championship and still burning for top-flight football — is back on the radar.
Could this be the fairytale ending both Ipswich and Latte Lath were denied last time?
