Town Set to Land Chambers - Ipswich Town News

Town appear increasingly likely to complete the signing of former Nottingham Forest skipper Luke Chambers, who underwent a medical and held talks at Portman Road yesterday. The 26-year-old returned home to Nottingham last night with rumours circulating that the move would break down with Leeds and a number of other clubs also believed to be interested.

However, it appears Leeds, whose takeover is believed to be close, have not firmed up their interest in the former Northampton man, who is available on a free transfer, his Forest deal having expired at midnight on Saturday.

As per reports earlier today, it seems Chambers returned home merely to take his time before making what is a big decision.

While a deal may not be done in time for Chambers to join the squad for the first day of pre-season training tomorrow, we understand the deal could well be completed by the end of the week.
