Tom Lawrence is in sensational form for Ipswich Town – but he is now the club’s greatest-ever loan player?

East Anglian Daily Times: Ryan Fraser in action for Ipswich Town against BrightonRyan Fraser in action for Ipswich Town against Brighton

The 23-year-old Welsh international forward – set to be with the Blues for the entire season from Premier League champions Leicester City – found the top corner with a breathtaking 30 yard strike in Saturday’s 3-2 home win against Blackburn.

He has now scored seven goals in all competitions, with three of them likely to be Championship goal-of-the-season contenders. In addition to the outstanding goals scored at Sheffield Wednesday and QPR, he also got the Blues out of jail in the FA Cup with two goals salvaging a replay against non-league side Lincoln City.

Daryl Murphy and David McGoldrick started out as loan players at Ipswich, while the likes of Andros Townsend, Danny Simpson, Mark Noble and Jake Livermore all went on to be Premier League success after spells at Portman Road.

But below we pick out the six biggest rivals to Lawrence for the title as Town’s best-ever loan player. Cast your vote...

RYAN FRASER (2015/16)

The diminutive Scotsman produced some dazzling displays on the left-wing when borrowed from Bournemouth in 2015/16. Shame injuries held him back. No surprise that he’s now doing the business in the Premier League.

JONNY WILLIAMS (Feb-May 2014)

First loan spell from Crystal Palace was great. Popular off the pitch, exciting on it. Quick-footed attacking midfielder took the hits. Remember the quickfire wins against Brighton and Derby?

DJ CAMPBELL (Oct 2012 – Jan 2013)

The well-travelled striker was signed by Paul Jewell, but scored the goals which got Town away from the relegation zone after Mick McCarthy took charge – including the vital winner in his first game at Birmingham.

KEITH ANDREWS (Aug 2011 – Jan 2012)

Irishman scored at a rate of almost a goal every other game. Two goals in the 5-3 win at Barnsley gave Paul Jewell a stay of execution.

JIMMY BULLARD (Jan-May 2011)

His subsequent permanent switch didn’t work out, but the initial loan spell was superb. Scored twice at Cardiff, looked a class act in midfield and lit up the place with his character. Sales of blond wings went crazy.

GIOVANI DOS SANTOS (Mar-Jun 2009)

It still seems crazy that the silky Mexican forward, who started at Barcelona and was out-of-favour at Tottenham, was at Portman Road for a brief spell in 2009. Far too good for the Championship. Four goals in eight games. Terrorised Norwich. Now at LA Galaxy.
