Livermore Could Extend Town Stay - Ipswich Town News

New loanee Jake Livermore says he could extend his spell with the Blues beyond January depending on how the first few months of his time at Town develop. Livermore made his debut as a sub at Reading on Tuesday and could make his first start in Saturday’s game against Leeds with fellow midfielders Luke Hyam and David Norris suspended.

Livermore told the club site: "I've come here for game time and to help the team will matches. Having the opportunity to work under the manager was another big appeal for me and I'm enjoying it.

"I have played in the Championship before when on loan at Derby and Peterborough and it's a tough league, but it's an exciting one as well and I'm looking forward to playing as many games as possible here.

"I'm here until January but if everything goes well and both parties are happy, then I'd like to stay longer and do well for the team."

The 20-year-old says he’s looking forward to getting more involved: "I've been keeping fit and playing games in-house back at Spurs. The fitness coach here is brilliant, we've been working on it. Yes, I'm ready to go."
