Former Town trialist James Collins is reportedly close to joining the Blues.
According to West Ham site KUMB, veteran centre-half Collins has agreed to sign a short-term contract at Portman Road.
TWTD understands there is something in the report, although the move has not gone as far as claimed.
In September, TWTD revealed that free agent Collins, 35, who was released by the Hammers last summer, was training with the Town squad.
He was subsequently offered a contract by former boss Paul Hurst but after he suffered a hamstring injury the proposed move broke down and he joined Aston Villa, one of his former clubs, on trial.
The former Wales international then signed a short-term deal with Villa but after picking up a calf injury ripped up his contract.
Current Town boss Paul Lambert has said he wants to add experience to all areas of his squad during January and Collins would certainly fit the bill as he looks to strengthen the Blues defence.
Meanwhile, Town reportedly remain interested in loaning Norwich winger or right-back Ben Marshall, who previously played for Lambert at Blackburn and Wolves.
The 27-year-old, who was linked with Town in December, is understood to be on Town's list of potential targets, however, other players able to operate in similar roles are also under consideration.
