PRAISED Ipswich Town coach, Elkan Baggott, instead went on loan to the 2023 Japan League 1 club, FC Tokyo? Just to note, Elkan Baggott’s future with the club, Ipswich Town, is uncertain.
Medio two weeks ago, Ipswich Town coach Kieran McKenna said he would loan Elkan Baggott to another club. It is intended that the Indonesian national team defender gets a lot of minutes to appear.
However, Ipswich Town’s plan to lend Elkan Baggott seemed to have vanished after the 194-centimeter defender was played during the team’s 2-1 win over Spartak Trnava on Saturday, July 15 2023 evening WIB. Even after the match, Kieran McKenna praised Elkan Baggott’s progress.
“The five players (young including Elkan Baggott) came last Thursday and trained with us on Friday because we realized we needed support for two games,” said Kieran McKenna on Ipswich Town’s official website, quoted Monday (17/7/2023).
“I think they’ve done very well and it’s not easy for them. Came in the first match and immediately went on the bus so I could compete in the second match,” added the former Manchester United assistant coach.
Now the question is, if it is true that he is loaned out, where will Elkan Baggott end up? The Indonesian National Team fanbase account, @garudarevolution.ina, mentions rumors that FC Tokyo is interested in signing Elkan Baggott.

“There are rumors that Elkan Baggott has been loaned to FC Tokyo,” wrote the Instagram account @garudarevolution.ina.
Previously in January 2022, FC Tokyo also tried to approach Elkan Baggott. However, in the end the news just evaporated.
“FC Tokyo has shown interest in Ipswich Town centre-back Elkan Bagott. Indonesian defenders are tall, have a high aerial duel winning rate, and are good at dribbling the ball smoothly,” wrote FC Tokyo Watch via Twitter on Sunday 2 January 2022.
If this news is true, it is hoped that Elkan Baggott will get more minutes of appearances with FC Tokyo. FC Tokyo itself is a club with a rich history, having won the Japan Cup three times, plus the Japanese League 2 twice.
Currently FC Tokyo is performing in the highest caste of the Japanese League, J1 League 2023. As of week 21, FC Tokyo sits in 12th position out of 18 contestants.
