Ipswich Town is on the verge of finalizing a loan agreement for Blackburn Rovers’ captain, Lewis Travis, with a deal anticipated to be completed today, as per TWTD. The club is aiming to strengthen their squad during the winter to enhance their prospects for promotion in the Championship. Despite a dip in form during the busy festive period, they currently hold the 2nd position in the league standings.
Recent injuries have depleted Kieran McKenna’s team, prompting the need for additional squad depth at Portman Road. Reports suggest that the Tractor Boys could secure a notable signing as early as today.
TWTD’s sources indicate that Ipswich Town is nearing the completion of a loan deal for Blackburn Rovers’ midfielder, Travis. Discussions are progressing well, and the move is anticipated to be officially confirmed imminently.
Furthermore, it’s noted that although Millwall and Preston North End also expressed interest, Ipswich Town appears poised to secure the deal.
Surprising, but logical
Travis, the captain of Blackburn Rovers, has been a significant figure at Ewood Park for some years. Since rising through the club’s youth divisions, the midfielder has appeared 224 times for the first squad and has proven to be a reliable presence in the middle of the park.
Sondre Tronstad and Adam Wharton, on the other hand, have emerged as Jon Dahl Tomasson’s first-choice midfielders. Travis has spent the last few months on the bench, occasionally coming back into the side to provide cover in full-back situations.
Given the dominant duo of Sam Morsy and Massimo Luongo, a move to Ipswich Town may not guarantee additional game time. His ability to cover at fullback, however, will be essential, as will his experience and leadership.
It allows Travis to have a more significant effect elsewhere, and with McKenna’s side vying for promotion, the move is obviously appealing.
