The former Ipswich Town player, Cole Skuse, has suggested that head coach Kieran McKenna should approve a well-deserved loan opportunity for young defender Elkan Baggot.
This recommendation comes in the wake of Baggot’s goal during a recent match, even though Ipswich Town was defeated by Premier League team Fulham in the EFL Cup, ending their hopes of progressing to the quarter-finals.
During the game, 21-year-old defender Baggot managed to score a goal for Ipswich Town, marking a significant achievement as it was his first goal for the club and only his fourth in his professional football career. However, Baggot’s playing time has been limited this season, and he has yet to make an appearance for Ipswich Town in the Championship under the coaching of Kieran McKenna.
In an interview with BBC Radio Suffolk, former Town defender Skuse expressed his belief that Baggot should be sent on loan to a League One team to ensure his continued development. Skuse emphasized that it would provide valuable exposure for the young player and highlighted the noticeable growth in both his personality and playing abilities since their last encounter. Skuse also stated that Baggot appears ready for a loan move to a competitive League One team at the top end of the league.
In the writer’s opinion, Baggot’s potential makes him a valuable asset for any League One squad, and there are likely several teams in England’s third division interested in securing his loan services until the end of the season. At 21 years old, Baggot needs regular playing time to further enhance his skills, which may not be readily available at Portman Road.
