Midfielder Mark Noble says he is keen to extend his loan spell beyond its initial three months. The England U19 international wants to remain with the Blues until at least January and perhaps for even longer.

West Ham have a recall option after a month but Noble told the club site that he is happy at Portman Road: "I'm really enjoying playing at Ipswich and I'd like to see out the three months here.

"In that time we must play 15 games, something like that, and I want to be involved in every one of them. Then we'll see what happens in January.

"I could go back to West Ham and start playing there, I could stay on here or I could go on loan elsewhere. You never know."

The England U19 international is expected to make his fourth Town appearance against Coventry City this evening.
