After rumours surrounding Omari Hutchinson's exit, we look at two players in Leif Davis and Conor Chaplin, who could also leave Ipswich Town.
Following their relegation from the top flight, Ipswich Town aren't having it all their own way in the transfer market.
The Tractor Boys have already lost talisman Liam Delap to Chelsea, following the activation of his release clause, and Omari Hutchinson appears to be forcing a way out of Portman Road as well.
Ipswich boss, Kieran McKenna, told BBC Radio Suffolk: "[Hutchinson has] made his desire to continue to play Premier League if the opportunity is there."
The loss of such a talented prospect would come at an unfortunate time for Ipswich, who are looking to make an immediate return to the Premier League.
The Blues' season hasn't got off to the start that McKenna would've hoped for. A draw against Championship new boys, Birmingham City, as well as a defeat on penalties to League Two, Bromley, in the EFL Cup, have left a sour taste for the Ipswich manager.
Results coupled with the rumoured departure of Hutchinson mean that uncertainty remains about how easily the Suffolk-based side will bounce back to the top flight.
Having added Chuba Akpom to the ranks this past week, there remains scope for further players to leave Portman Road.
So, with Hutchinson looking destined for the exit door before September 1st, Football League World has looked at two players who could follow the winger out of the door.
With the arrival of Chuba Akpom from Ajax last week, there is certainly potential for Chaplin to exit Portman Road this summer.
Despite starting Tuesday's EFL Cup defeat to Bromley, the former Portsmouth man was only offered a cameo appearance in the Tractor Boys' Championship curtain-raiser against Birmingham City on Friday night.
A player of Chaplin's calibre may not be content with appearances off the bench for Town this season, and with George Hirst, Sammie Szmodics and Chuba Akpom all ahead of him in McKenna's pecking order, opportunities will be sparse for Chaplin in the 9 or 10 role.
BBC Radio Suffolk asked Chaplin himself about links to a move away from Ipswich. He said: "I've been in football for a while, that's part of it, especially in the transfer window. Personally, I've been in enough transfer windows now and at enough teams, to know that's what happens. Probably the earlier you can get things done the better, but it's not always the case, especially in summer transfer windows. It tends to be tough and long, and sagas, and twists and turns."
Chaplin remains focused on his Ipswich career, but with the plethora of options available to McKenna, he certainly could find himself elsewhere come the end of the window.
Despite Ipswich being determined to keep hold of the left-back, it may be difficult to keep the Newcastle-born Davis at Portman Road this summer, with a host of Premier League clubs looking to secure his services.
Unlike Chaplin, Davis could be one that they begrudgingly let leave.
Davis has developed an impressive portfolio of work at Ipswich, and a Premier League move certainly looks in line for the highly-rated 25-year-old.
The last time the Tractor Boys were in England's second tier, Davis racked up 21 assists from left-back. He then followed that up with an impressive campaign in the top flight, despite Ipswich's relegation.
As reported by Mike McGrath, Ipswich rebuffed several offers for Davis last week. However, there are fresh rumours from Ben Jacobs that Nottingham Forest may try their hand at securing the impressive full-back's services.
