Town boss Kieran McKenna says Como striker Iván Azón’s loan move to the Blues is not yet complete but confirmed that the 22-year-old has travelled to England.
Yesterday, Spanish sources revealed that Azón was on his way to Suffolk to undergo a medical and complete a season-long switch to the Blues with the Serie A side’s manager Cesc Fabregas later confirming that that was the case.
Como were reported to want a €500,000 (£435,000) loan fee, while the deal is believed to include an obligation to become permanent for €10-€12 million (£8.6 million-£10.3 million).
"I think because Como has announced it as well, I think it's fair to say,” McKenna said on Azón.
"He's travelled over to England. I have to say that no deal is complete yet. We've seen situations over the last few years where a deal is not complete until it's complete. I don't think there's too much point saying any more on it until it gets to that stage.
"He's a player that we like, one that the recruitment team here tracked, even at Real Zaragoza.
"He's been a player of interest over the summer and there's no deal complete yet. If there is, then we'll look to integrate him and speak about what he can bring to the team.”
