Westy Move Complete - Ipswich Town News
Midfielder Ian Westlake has completed his move to Leeds United. The 23-year-old completed a medical earlier today and has signed a three-year deal at Elland Road.
Town will receive £450,000 plus the £250,000-rated Dan Harding for the Clacton-born player.
Harding was expected at Portman Road last night for his medical with the deal likely to be completed today, however, not necessarily before the midday deadline which would allow him to be available for tomorrow's first game of the season at home to Crystal Palace.
