Twenty-two-year-old Enciso previously spent the latter half of the 2024/2025 season on loan at Ipswich from Brighton. The team finished 19th that season and was relegated to the Championship. “I really enjoyed my time on loan at the club and was very happy to see them promoted back to the Premier League last season,” stated Enciso, who participated in the World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico with Paraguay this summer. He has signed a five-year contract with the English club.

Gary O'Neil, who managed both players at Strasbourg, took over as Ipswich manager this summer. Ouattara also signed a five-year deal. “Abdoul is a talented young player who can play in various positions, making him a great addition to our squad. We enjoyed working with him last season in France and are thrilled to have the opportunity to do so again at Ipswich,” O'Neil commented on the 20-year-old right-back. The information was reported by AFP.
