How does his visa work? Does he qualify because he’s an international? Or because he’s been here for a while?
He's been through the Ipswich academy, so definitely been here for a few years already.

It's the Championship, players are coming into clubs from all over. Bristol C signed someone from Japan today. I wouldn't worry about the Visa status of someone who's been a EFL player for several years now.
 
It looks a wonderful signing. My Ipswich friend says so.
I thought he’d only just signed on for a Ipswich for a year again last week too
 
The rules changes last summer, so Championship clubs can bring in up to four overseas players who wouldn't typically hit the points requirements of the international visa system.

So even if Idris didn't get settled status (which he would have been entitled to, as a French citizen living here before Brexit).....it's still not a problem, and we can still bring in three more random foreign signings!

(his international status is a bit of a red herring, though, as he only played in one friendly in 2019. And even that was only 9 minutes as a sub!)
 
Looks like Boyd Munce is who Leyton Orient are looking to replace him with.
