TWTD understands that Town are close to completing the signing of Wigan Athletic right-back David Wright. The former Crewe Alexandra man has spent the day at Portman Road talking personal terms.

The Blues and Latics have agreed a fee believed to be in the region of £200,000.

Meanwhile, Town are one of a number of clubs linked with Sunderland striker Jon Stead. The Black Cats have revealed that they have agreed a fee with an unnamed club for the 23-year-old and that the interested party is not Stead's former loan side Derby.

Previously, Roy Keane's club were reported to want £650,000 for the frontman, who has two years remaining on a contract signed while Sunderland were a Premiership club.
