Lukic: One of the Best Atmospheres in the Premier League

New Blues signing Sasa Lukic is looking forward to playing at Portman Road in front of what he believes is one of the best atmospheres in the Premier League.

The Serbian international joined Town from Fulham yesterday, the clubs having agreed a £9 million fee, the 29-year-old signing a four-year deal.

"I am happy to be here," he told https://www.itfc.co.uk/videos/438f0039-56eb-485e-b26d-b33448d8d9aa >TownTV. "This is a great club with rich history and I'm here to build it.

"I come here with a great ambition and a strong desire to help the team grow and improve every single day."

Asked what fans can expect from him, the 62-times-capped Serbia international added: "I am a box-to-box player, I like to defend and attack, so you can expect everything."

Lukic had been at Craven Cottage for three and a half years, having previously spent six and a half years with Torino in Serie A, during which time he had one season on loan in La Liga with Levante.

"I have a lot of experience," he reflected. "And I'm more than ready to help the team and the players for the next season to achieve very good memories."

Lukic was in the Fulham side which drew with Town twice in 2024/25, 1-1 in Suffolk in the August and 2-2 in London during the January.

The one-time Partizan Belgrade schemer remembers the Portman Road match very well.

"I played both of the games against Ipswich," he recalled. "First of all, here, I played a really good game in maybe one of the best atmospheres in the Premier League.

"I'm so happy to be here and I hope I'm going to see our fans soon and have things to celebrate together. I can't wait to get started."

Lukic is the Blues' second signing from Fulham this summer, central defender Issa Diop having joined the squad last month.

"I spoke with him two or three times [before making the move]," Lukic added. "I have a very good relationship with him and let's hope [we can] build something together here in Ipswich.

"I can promise to Ipswich fans that I will give my best for this club and I'm more than ready for this season. We are going to be competitive, I'm sure of that."
