Blues forward Marcus Harness is closing in on a loan move to Championship Derby County.
The 28-year-old, who has a year left on his contract with the club having an option for a further season, looked set to be among the senior players who would be left out of the 25-man Premier League squad had he remained at Portman Road.
As per the Daily Telegraph, the Rams are working on the deal which is expected to be confirmed before this evening’s 11pm deadline.
Harness, who started his career in the East Midlands with Burton Albion, joined Town from Portsmouth in the summer of 2022.
If the deal goes through as expected, Harness will be reunited with former Town striker Kayden Jackson, who moved to Pride Park earlier in the summer following his Portman Road release.
