Blues youngster Elkan Baggott is reported to have been the subject of interest from Championship Barnsley.

According to the EADT, the Tykes made their interest in the 18-year-old known but Town are not looking to sell the Indonesia U19 international.

Baggott signed his first professional contract in January, a deal which runs until 2023 with an option for a further season, Premier League West Ham, Leeds and Everton having previously shown interest.

The centre-half is yet to feature for the U23s this season due to injury.

timkatieadamitfc added 20:56 - Aug 31 Never mind one for the future @ bluearmy, I'd be integrating him into the squad sooner rather than later, he's 19 now and built like a brick sh1thouse, I'd love to see him breathing down woolfendens/nsialas neck soon. Sick of prem teams taking players like knight/ that kid arsenal had of us, if teams like that want them then surely they are near enough to be in a league 1 squad.

Linkboy13 added 23:13 - Aug 31 Calm down every body he was on loan at Kings Lynn last season. Will need to go out on loan to a higher level like league two. Our youngsters always get over hyped on here. I agree he's a good prospect but at nineteen he needs to be proving himself at a higher level.

Upthetown1970 added 09:02 - Sep 1 Cook has no plans for Baggott regarding 1st team football so I can see another of our best young talents leaving the club. We do hold all the cards tough as Baggott signed a new deal this year.
