Leif Davis on Conor Chaplin for Ipswich Town before their match against Portsmouth
Chaplin, who led Town in scoring during both of their promotion campaigns, unexpectedly left on deadline day to sign a season-long loan with a January recall provision with his boyhood club, Pompey. Davis says he can’t wait to see the man he claims “is like a brother,” even though he won’t be able to play at Portman Road when the clubs meet this weekend.

I’ve always had endless time for Conor, and he’s a mischievous little boy. Since I’ve been here, he has been an amazing person for us.”

Chappers was like a brother to me, and I believe I’ve discovered a lifelong companion.
