PIM BALKESTEIN today had a message for Ipswich Town manager Jim Magilton.
The young Dutch defender said: “I want the number three berth.”
Earmarked to become a professional footballer since before he could walk, the son of a former Dutch international has impressed his new boss in the Blues' last two friendly games.
He caught the eye in Saturday's 2-1 win against West Brom in Balkestein's first appearance at Portman Road.
Magilton is still searching for a left-side player who will provide the right grit and give the right balance to his side.
