Former Blues keeper Lewis Price could be set for a return to Portman Road as cover for the injured Dean Gerken. TWTD understands that Town are keen on bringing in the Welsh international on loan from Crystal Palace.
Price, 30, made 74 starts and one sub appearance for the Blues having joined the club as an academy scholar from Southampton.
Having spent time on loan at Cambridge while with Town, the 6ft 3in tall keeper joined Derby in the summer of 2007 where he was reunited with current Town goalkeeper-coach Malcolm Webster, who was working under ex-Blues boss George Burley.
After loan spells with the MK Dons, Luton and Brentford he moved on to Crystal Palace in July 2010, where he again worked under Burley and Webster.
Price’s opportunities have been limited to 15 starts for the Eagles and he spent time on loan with Mansfield last season and Crawley before Christmas.
Town boss Mick McCarthy wants another keeper to come as cover for Dean Gerken, who is out for around a month with a hip injury with 19-year-old third-choice Michael Crowe yet to play a senior game.
