Ipswich Town have agreed to sign Hull City centre-back Jacob Greaves, marking a huge transfer breakthrough.
According to The Athletic’s David Ornstein, the 23-year-old Tigers star is poised to have a physical with the Suffolk club before finalising a contract to join the Premier League.
The Tractor Boys have been in talks for a double deal featuring Greaves’ mercurial teammate Jaden Philogene, which would be for £35 million plus add-ons, but negotiations for the winger have yet to be completed, though an agreement is expected soon.
Crystal Palace is very interested in Philogene, and they might theoretically outbid the Premier League newcomers, but as talks continue, Greaves is the most likely to move to Portman Road.
