DONE DEAL: Town sign young Chelsea left-back Somto Boniface on deadline day
Ipswich Town are closing in on the transfer deadline day signing of teenage Chelsea left-back Somto Boniface.
As first reported by the Daily Telegraph, the Blues have reached an agreement for the 18-year-old who will now undergo a medical.
The EADT and Ipswich Star understands that the England Under-18 international will join as a youth team player rather than going straight into the first team squad.
Town currently have Leif Davis and Conor Townsend as senior left-back options.
The January transfer window shuts at 11pm tonight.
Ipswich Town could add two more senior players to their squad if they choose to deregister long-term injury victims Chiedozie Ogbene and Wes Burns for the remainder of the campaign.
The club cannot sign any more domestic loan players as they are the two-man max (Kalvin Phillips and Julio Enciso).
Blues boss Kieran McKenna reiterated, after Saturday’s disappointing 2-1 home defeat to rock-bottom Southampton, that he thinks it’s going to be a quiet day on the ins and outs front.
