Millwall have taken central defender Elkan Baggott off Ipswich Town's books on a permanent deal. The 23-year-old graduated through the Portman Road academy system and racked up nine senior outings for the Blues, scoring once, in a 2024 Carabao Cup tie against Fulham.
Five separate loan spells - at King's Lynn, Gillingham, Cheltenham, Bristol Rovers and Blackpool - punctuated his time on Suffolk's books, and he leaves having earned 28 caps for Indonesia. Ipswich thanked him for his contribution and wished him luck for the next stage of his career.
On the incoming side, Leicester City winger Abdul Fatawu has emerged as an Ipswich target, with an approach already made for the 22-year-old Ghana international. Fresh from the World Cup, Fatawu is wanted by several other Premier League clubs too, all circling after Leicester's relegation from the Championship into League One left the Foxes bracing for departures.
Nothing is close to done yet - a fee and terms both remain to be thrashed out - but the interest underlines Ipswich's determination to add a genuine right-wing threat, an area that has lacked a settled option since Omari Hutchinson left the club.
Rounding out the week's business, goalkeeper Henry Gray is heading back across the world for a season-long loan at Wellington Phoenix, the Australian A-League outfit where his career in New Zealand football began before he crossed to Suffolk in 2023. The 21-year-old, capped at New Zealand youth level and handed a senior call-up in October 2023, spent the back half of last season on loan in League Two with Harrogate Town, featuring 18 times. Town sent him off with their best wishes for the campaign ahead.
Taken together, the three moves show a club balancing outgoings against incomings as it tries to build a squad capable of surviving in the top flight.
