Which Premier League club signed Cédric Kipré from Reims in 2026?

Ipswich Town signed Cédric Kipré from Reims in 2026.

Kipré initially joined Ipswich on loan from Stade de Reims in July 2025, after returning to English football. The agreement included a purchase condition linked to promotion, and Ipswich’s return to the Premier League activated the move. Ipswich announced the permanent transfer on 5 May 2026, with Kipré signing through 2028.

The centre-back played an important role during Ipswich’s promotion campaign. He appeared in 35 matches, including 32 starts, and scored three goals. Reims confirmed that the promotion clause had been triggered, meaning he would not return to France.

A frequent source of confusion is the date: Kipré first arrived at Ipswich in 2025 on loan, but the permanent signing happened in 2026. The relevant club is Ipswich Town, not one of the Premier League teams listed as the wrong options.
