TWTD understands former skipper Jon Walters has arrived at Town to undergo a medical and complete the formalities on his loan move from Burnley. Yesterday, TWTD revealed that the 34-year-old was set to make a shock return to Portman Road.
Earlier this morning, Walters posted on social media that he was en route to Ipswich, having progressed as far as Newmarket on the A14.
The deal, which is a loan running until January, seems likely to be completed later today well ahead of tomorrow’s 5pm deadline and the Republic of Ireland striker looks set to go straight into the squad for Sunday’s East Anglian derby against Norwich City.
Walters has been on the winning side in an East Anglian derby, the 2-1 home win in April 2008 but missed the 3-2 victory a year later, the last time the Blues beat their greatest rivals.
