Elkan Baggott starts in Ipswich Town’s pre-season match

Elkan Baggott earned a starting position as Ipswich Town began their Championship season preparation against Austrian club Blau-Weiss Linz.

Kieran McKenna’s side — recently relegated from the Premier League — secured a convincing 4-1 victory in their first pre-season match.

Good news for Indonesian national team supporters as Elkan Baggott has received a one-year contract extension from Ipswich Town, though concerns remain that the 196 cm defender might be loaned out again — considering his previous five loan spells.

The Blues’ squad remains largely unchanged heading into the new season, with the main departure being Liam Delap’s move to Chelsea.
