Ipswich are closing in on the loan signing of a former Premier League defender.

Kieran McKenna is eager to add reinforcements to his squad during the January transfer window.

Ipswich are currently in 18th place in the Premier League, with McKenna looking to do all he can to ensure that his side stay up. 

In their last game Ipswich secured an impressive 2-0 victory at home to Chelsea courtesy of a penalty from Liam Delap and a goal from Omari Hutchinson.

Next up for Ipswich is an away game against Fulham on Sunday afternoon.

Following that, Ipswich will host Bristol Rovers on January 12 in the FA Cup third round.

Ipswich are close to completing the loan signing of Ben Godfrey from Atalanta.

Mail Sport revealed last month that Ipswich and Wolves had expressed interest in the former Everton centre-back who has agreed to link up with McKenna. 

Godfrey has made just five appearances for Atalanta and is eager to play regularly again.

After starting out at York City, Godfrey joined Norwich in January 2016 and featured for the Canaries in the Premier League during the 2019-20 season.
