Ipswich Town are set to further boost their squad ahead of this weekend’s big kick-off with the signing of Everton winger Conor Grant.

It is understood the Blues will announce the loan move for the 21-year-old wingman this afternoon.

Grant, who can also play elsewhere in midfield, has spent time on loan at Doncaster and Motherwell.

He will join fellow youngster Grant Ward, signed on a three-year deal from Tottenham this week, on the flanks.

They already have Cameron Stewart, who has impressed in pre-season, on the books.

Town start their Championship season at home to Barnsley on Saturday.
