Giovani seals shock Ipswich loan move

by Robin Hackett , 13 March 2009

Ipswich have signed Tottenham youngster Giovani dos Santos on loan until the end of the season.

The former Barcelona attacker has struggled with form and injuries since his arrival in the summer and came close to a January move to Portsmouth.

Giovani scored his first goal for the club in the Uefa Cup second leg game against Shakhtar Donetsk last month, but Redknapp has decided to allow the Mexico international to move to the Championship side for the rest of the current campaign.

Ipswich boss Jim Magilton told the club's official website: "Gio has got a great pedigree having been at Barcelona and playing 30-odd games for them and I know there was a lot of interest in him last summer.

"He's played games for Tottenham in The Premier League and in Europe and he will bring some added quality to the squad." 

The 19-year-old could make his debut against Reading at the weekend.
