  "account": "Ipswich Town have secured the signing of Dutch forward Zian Flemming from Burnley in a reported £20 million deal. The 28-year-old striker has agreed to a four-year contract with the club. Last season, Flemming netted 11 league goals for Burnley, who suffered relegation. So far this season, he has scored three goals in the first four matches. Ipswich manager Gary O'Neil expressed his delight at bringing Flemming to the club, praising his quality and experience. He stated, \"He has good quality and experience and has started the new season well, so is a great addition to the group as we strengthen the squad further.\"\n\nUpon Burnley's promotion back to the Premier League in August, manager Nicky Yunayen had urged Flemming to remain with the club, for which Flemming expressed his pride in signing for Ipswich. He said, \"I played in the Premier League last season and really enjoyed my first season at the top level, competing against the best players and teams in the world, so I am delighted to now be back in there with a great club like Ipswich.\" With this signing, Ipswich now has 12 summer arrivals.",
