Cajuste Among Nominees for Goal of the Season Award - Ipswich Town News

Town loanee Jens Cajuste may have only scored one goal for the club during his season-long loan from Serie A champions Napoli – but it could yet be the best of the 2024-25 Premier League campaign just ended.

The 25-year-old midfielder netted with a spectacular strike from the edge of the box in the game against Nottingham Forest to earn the Goal of the Month prize for March, and now he is among the 10 nominees – all of them monthly winners – for the Goal of the Season accolade.

Cajuste, a Swedish international whose displays made him a fans’ favourite, made a total of 30 top-flight appearances for the Blues in his number 12 shirt and a further three in cup competitions during his time at Portman Road.

Town fans can have a say in who wins the top award with voting open until 6pm BST on Friday. Vote here.
