There will be only ambition for Ipswich Town this forthcoming season - win promotion and making an immediate return to the Sky Bet Championship, after a utter shambles of a campaign last time out.

The Tractor Boys, after parting ways with Mick McCarthy, failed to cope with the transition after losing the experienced manager.

Paul Hurst came in, but along with some poor recruitment, the Suffolk outfit soon found themselves cemented to the bottom of the Championship table for the remainder of the season.

Town will now be looking for a much more steady season under the watchful eye of Paul Lambert, a manager who knows what it takes to get out of the division.

The Scot has wasted no time in reshaping his squad this summer, bringing in three new faces in the form of Tomas Holy, Luke Garbutt and James Norwood.

The latter is undoubtedly Ipswich's marquee signing of the summer so far, arriving at Portman Road on a free transfer on the back of quite a remarkable season for Tranmere Rovers last term.

Plenty are expecting him to score the goals to take Ipswich back up, but let's have a look at his previous statistics to see whether he is capable of doing so...

To say that Norwood was important in Tranmere's promotion to League One was an understatement - he was absolutely crucial for Micky Mellon's side, scoring 32 goals in a total of 53 games in all competitions.

Norwood played 4692 minutes in League Two last season, 45 games in the regular season, and three times in the play-offs. He scored 30 goals, and two more in the cup competitions, so having found the net so many times, it is important to establish where he played.

Every game, without fail, Norwood played as a lone striker, in either a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-4-1-1 system with Connor Jennings sitting behind the prolific forward. Having a player who can provide service in behind Norwood will be beneficial for Ipswich next season, and Alan Judge can definitely fulfil that role.

Norwood managed to hit 186 shots on target, an average of nearly 3.8 per game, which shows that he was the main man for Mellon's side up top. He thrives on getting in behind the defence, and when he's one on one, there is only one winner.

Part of his role up top on his own involves coming back to link up with play, and connect with Jennings who sat in behind. He accrued a pass success rate of 67.6%, and completed 123 successful dribbles.

For quite a diminutive forward, Norwood doesn't shy away from a battle with opposition defences. As alluded to before, he likes getting in behind, but can deal with the physical side of the game too, winning 690 aerial duels last season.

He brings something different to what the likes of Kayden Jackson bring up top for the Tractor Boys, and with the likes of Judge and Gwion Edwards supplying him next season, Norwood could have another fantastic season with Ipswich.
