Bennetts, born in London to a German mother and Nigerian father, started his career with Tottenham but moved to Germany with Gladbach in 2018, eventually making his professional debut for the Bundesliga club earlier this summer.

He’s been capped by England up to Under 19 level, as well as Germany Under 15s, playing alongside Ipswich midfielder Andre Dozzell throughout his time in England’s youth set-up.

Bennetts could be in line to make his Ipswich debut against Gillingham in the EFL Trophy on Tuesday but has not been registered in time to make the squad for this weekend’s game with MK Dons.

He will wear the No.17 shirt during his time with Ipswich.
