It's likely the the player close to signing is a defender, with Town boss Joe Royle indicating in the last week that the defence was now his priority. Amongst others, former loanee David Unsworth has been linked with a move to Portman Road.

Confirming the news to the local press, Town Chairman David Sheepshanks admitted: “There is one player in particular who we are close to signing.”

In addition, it is expected that Canadian ace Jamie Peters and former Arsenal man Dean McDonald will accept the offers on the table for them, whilst Jim Magilton will meet Town boss Joe Royle today to let the gaffer know if he will be staying on next term.
