Ipswich Town: Edwin Agbaje set to leave this summer | East Anglian Daily  Times

 

Young defender Edwin Agbaje is set to leave the Blues in the summer with his contract coming to an end.

The 21-year-old joined the academy in September 2020 from Shamrock Rovers and went on to make one start and one sub appearance for the first team, both in cups.

Injuries curtailed loan spells at Yeovil Town and Sutton United with the right-back or centre-half making a return from Green Gander Lane in January having suffered a hamstring injury on his debut in November. He featured regularly for the U21s, who he captained, during the remaining months of the campaign.

Edenberry-born Agbaje was capped by the Republic of Ireland at U18 level while with the Blues having previously played for their U15s and U16s.

The other, brutal side of football. Player of the Year 2 years ago, made Captain of U21s, now out….mainly due to injuries preventing him playing and showing his worth. Wish the lad well, to get properly healthy and kick on with his career as he clearly has ability. And people wonder why a Cole Palmer signs a 9 year deal….this is only a secure industry whilst you are fit and performing !

real shame, lad has real promise and could be a real steal for someone who can get him playing regularly. Good luck Edwin.

Really sad to hear this. Thought he was a standout player a few seasons ago when the youth team had a great run in the Cup. I saw he had lots of problems with injuries since then. I hope he gets a new club and builds his career. Good luck Edwin!

Blues striker Liam Delap has been nominated for the Hublot Premier League Young Player of the Season award.

Delap, 22, has enjoyed a very successful first season in the Premier League since joining Town from Manchester City last summer, scoring 12 times and picking up two assists.

With a £30 million relegation release clause in his contract, the England U21 international is certain to leave Portman Road in the close season.

Delap is up against Ryan Gravenberch (Liverpool), Anthony Elanga (Nottingham Forest), Dean Huijsen (AFC Bournemouth), last year’s winner Cole Palmer (Chelsea), Joao Pedro (Brighton & Hove Albion), Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa) and William Saliba (Arsenal) for the gong which is for players aged below 23 at the start of the season.

Votes from the public, which can be registered here before 12:00 BST on Monday 19th May, will be combined with those of a panel of football experts to decide the winner, who will be revealed next week.
