Edun has made seven appearances for the first team of Cottagers since making his professional debut in a League Cup match against Leyton Orient.

He was a very key member of the England U19 squad that won the 2017 UEFA European Under-19 Championship, and was included in the Team of the Tournament.

During his time at Portman Road, Edun will wear the number 25 jersey, made popular in Nigeria by Arsenal legend Nwankwo Kanu.

He joins defender Josh Emmanuel, midfielder Tom Adeyemi and young striker Ben Folami at Ipswich Town.
