Ellington Set for Scunthorpe - Ipswich Town News

TWTD understands that out-of-favour striker Nathan Ellington is set to join League One Scunthorpe United on loan. The 31-year-old has made only two sub appearances for Town so far this season.

Ellington, who was interesting his former club Bristol Rovers and Notts County in the summer, is still to score his first goal for the Blues having had few opportunities since joining on a free transfer after leaving Watford in the summer of 2011.

In total, the Bradford-born striker, who we understand will move for an initial month, has made only three starts for Town — just one in the league — in addition to 16 sub appearances. His Town contract is up in the summer.

Meanwhile, Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong’s proposed loan switch to Wolves has broken down, apparently due to the 20-year-old’s lack of fitness.

Frimpong, who has also been linked with a reunion with former Wolves boss Mick McCarthy at Town, suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury while on loan at Molineux last season.

Wolves reportedly may now wait until January before bringing him back in with the emergency loan deadline next Thursday.
