Ipswich Town are among the clubs interested in taking Fulham youngster Tayo Edun on loan, reports HITC Sport.
The 20-year-old made four appearances for the Cottagers last season – twice in the League Cup towards the start of the season and twice in the Championship in November.
Left-footed, he can play defensive midfield or at left-back and was recently on trial with MLS side Portland Timbers.

Ipswich, along with League One duo Barnsley and Shrewsbury, are said to be among the clubs to have made enquiries about the player following Fulham’s promotion to the Premier League.
Edun has represented England from U17 to U20 level and was an international team-mate of Blues duo Andre Dozzell and Trevoh Chalobah when the young Three Lions won the European U19 Championships last summer.
