Begovic Happy to Return - Ipswich Town News

Departing loan keeper Asmir Begovic says he would happily return to Town for a further spell if the opportunity presented itself. Yesterday the Bosnian international was recalled by Portsmouth to cover for the injured David James.

Begovic told the club site: "I have really enjoyed my time at Ipswich. I came here to play football and try and help the team climb up the table, and in the short space of time I have been here I have felt part of the side, part of the club and part of the town.

"I would have been very happy to have stayed here until January but circumstances have dictated differently.

"I'm sad to leave, to be honest. I have enjoyed the challenge here but Portsmouth want me back there. I don't know how long David will be out for and who will take over from him. I'll find that out later in the week.

"I have a new challenge at Portsmouth but if the opportunity comes up to return to Ipswich on loan I would be very interested."

Town could look to add another keeper to their ranks before Thursday’s emergency loan deadline or manager Roy Keane may decide to recall Richard Wright. New keeper Brian Murphy isn’t able to officially join the club until the transfer window opens in January.
