Judge Undergoing Medical at Town - Ipswich Town News
Brentford winger Alan Judge is at Town undergoing a medical this afternoon.
We understand a deal has been agreed with the Bees but talks are still continuing with the player and his representatives regarding personal terms.
The Blues made their move for the 30-year-old at the end of last week with discussions having progressed over the weekend.
Republic of Ireland international Judge, who is out of contract at Griffin Park at the end of the season and is available for a cut-price fee, has made only made only seven starts and 17 sub appearances for the Bees this season, scoring twice.
The former Blackburn, Plymouth (loan) and Notts County man suffered a broken leg at Portman Road in April 2016, an injury which kept him out of first-team action until January 2018.
Dubliner Judge previously came close to joining the Blues from the Magpies in the summer of 2013, however, he instead returned to Blackburn, where he had previously been a youth player, for a second spell.
If the deal is concluded, then Judge will become Paul Lambert's sixth signing of the January transfer window.
