Bajner Deal Could Be Done This Week - Ipswich Town News
Notts County assistant manager Greg Abbott says the League One club could complete the signing of Blues striker Balint Bajner this week.
"We've had a lot of help from Ipswich and Mick McCarthy, in particular," Abbott told the Nottingham Post. "And we feel Balint is one we can make happen this week.
"But there is a bit of work to do in respect of Balint and his personal circumstances at Ipswich. If we can make it happen then we will do and he will become a powerful number nine.
"But, at the minute, he is one we have shown a firm interest in and we've got the support of the chairman [Ray Trew] yet again."
Bajner, 24, was missing from the Town squad which defeated Millwall 3-1 at the Den on Saturday and is understood to have watched County’s 2-1 home victory over Crewe.
The Hungarian is now expected to join the Magpies on a permanent basis rather than on loan having had limited opportunities since signing for Town following a trial last summer.
