Town Targeting Tottenham's Ward - Ipswich Town News
Tottenham midfielder Grant Ward is the player the Blues are expecting to sign today, TWTD understands.
Speaking this morning manager Mick McCarthy said he hopes to make a signing today, which looks set to be Ward, while we understand the Blues are also closing in on a second further addition.
Lewisham-born Ward, 21, joined the Spurs academy as a 10-year-old but is yet to make a senior appearance for the Premier League club. He spent time on loan with the Chicago Fire in 2014 and Coventry City a year later.
Last season the right-sided winger or central midfielder made 35 starts and eight sub appearances while on loan with Rotherham in the Championship, scoring twice.
The move seems likely to be a loan with Ward having signed a new two-year deal in February.
