Town have revived their loan move for Como striker Iván Azón, a switch which had looked to be dead in the water.

A fortnight ago, the 22-year-old travelled to Suffolk to undergo a medical at Portman Road with the deal looking set to go through.

However, manager Kieran McKenna subsequently said the move wasn’t going to happen.

“The deal hasn’t progressed, so I won’t say anything other than that, really, out of respect to all parties,” he said. “He’s not a player we expect to join the club in this window.”

Now, despite reports in Spain earlier today indicating a move to Getafe was near, the Blues are closing in on the loan addition of the former Spanish U21 international.

The deal is now believed not to include anything beyond a season-long loan with the initial terms including an obligation to buy should the Blues win promotion in the campaign ahead.

Azón, who is 5ft 11in tall, started his career with his hometown club Real Zaragoza before moving to Como in January for €2 million (£1.7 million) plus a further €500,000 (£435,000).

Earlier in the summer it was reported he was available for loan for €500,000 having yet to take to the field for Como, in part due to injuries.

For Real Zaragoza, he scored 27 goals in 150 appearances, also picking up nine assists.

Mark added 18:21 - Aug 28 A very exciting signing if this happens, especially if there is an option to buy. Hopefully the deal is now more favourable to us than the earlier one.

Bert added 18:31 - Aug 28 Word has it that we did not accept the terms of the deal on offer. If his club wants to do business they will have to accept what we are happy with.

Cakeman added 18:35 - Aug 28 You couldn’t write this transfer window. I’ve lost track of who we are currently after. Nunez reported to have had a medical last night and yet no further update today?

trevski_s added 18:37 - Aug 28 NICE the deal is back AzON (i'll see myself out) Its all action today. If we can get this deal done along with Furlong, Nunez and Egeli I think we will be there. Hopefully one or two by tomorrow in time to maybe be on the bench at Derby. Then two weeks worth of training throughout the international period and then raring to go for Sheff Utd

ITFC_1994 added 18:38 - Aug 28 Get these 3 over the line and the Norwegian lad (or another exciting winger) and its been a very good window imo....

blueoutlook added 18:39 - Aug 28 So. Loads reported. Absolutely no one signed again!

blues1 added 18:42 - Aug 28 Blueboy1981. Sorry? Did he refuse to join us? Nothing has been said to suggest that. Just as likely if was down to the obligation to buy clause not being agreed between the 2 clubs. Considering this clause is no longer in the deal.

Saxonblue74 added 18:42 - Aug 28 Maybe they could use some advice Blueoutlook?
