Town Sign Portsmouth Keeper - Ipswich Town News

Town have signed Portsmouth keeper Asmir Begovic on a three-month loan. The 22-year-old is a Bosnian international, having previously played for Canadian youth teams alongside Jaime Peters.

Begovic has made only five starts and one sub appearance since joining Pompey’s academy in 2003.

During his time at Fratton Park, Begovic has spent time on loan with Belgian side La Louvière, Macclesfield, Bournemouth and Yeovil.

Having played U17 and U20 international football with Canada, the country where he was brought up, 6ft 5in tall Begovic recently committed to playing for Bosnia, the nation of his birth, making his debut as a sub at the weekend.

Begovic will provide competition for Richard Wright and second choice Arran Lee-Barrett, who is on a short-term contract until January.

Bohemians keeper Brian Murphy is set to join the Blues on a Bosman at the end of the Irish season in November, but won't be able to play competitive games until the transfer window opens in January.
