Ipswich Town have an agreement in place with Chelsea to sign young full-back Sotmo Boniface, according to the Daily Telegraph.

The Tractor Boys are 19th in the Premier League table with 16 points from 24 games and deep in the relegation struggle.

Kieran McKenna has targeted this window to bring in new faces to add quality and depth to their squad.

A full-back has been on McKenna’s agenda in this window and with the winter window set to end today, they have yet to bring one in.

Ipswich have Chelsea’s 18-year-old Boniface on their wish list and have approached the Blues for his signature.

Boniface is highly rated at the club but has yet to make a senior appearance for Chelsea.

Now it has been claimed that they have reached an agreement with Chelsea to sign Boniface.

Ipswich are closing in on their full-back target as the player has to undergo a medical before putting pen to paper.

The Tractor Boys are planning to add him to their first-team squad and it remains to be seen whether the youngster will be able to help them in their relegation battle if the deal goes through.
