Dobra Close to Agreeing New Deal - Ipswich Town News
Blues youngster Armando Dobra is close to agreeing a new three-year Town deal with the club having an option for a further season.
As previously reported, the Albanian U21 call-up had turned down earlier contract offers with the forward’s current terms up in the summer, although with the club having an option to keep him for an additional season.
However, following discussions in the last few days an agreement is now all but reached and it’s expected the Londoner will put formally put pen to paper on his new terms at Portman Road once the coronavirus restrictions are lifted.
TWTD revealed in January that Brighton and Hove Albion had made a £350,000 offer for Dobra, who broke into the Blues first team earlier this season and quickly became a fans’ favourite.
Dobra, who turns 19 today, has made three League One sub appearances in addition to four cup starts and one game from the bench, scoring his only goal in his senior debut at Luton in the Carabao Cup in August.
