Ipswich manager McKenna confirms Alzate's departure

Alzate, previously unattached after parting ways with Brighton, had joined Ipswich for training during preseason.

But he is now exploring the prospect of a move to the continent.

McKenna said: “Steven’s trained with us up until yesterday. Steven’s going to explore other options.

“He did very well in his week with us. A very talented player, who was an excellent character in the building.

“The right thing for him and for us is to look at some other options. He didn’t train with the group today.”
