Goalkeeper Palmer set for Ipswich medical

Ipswich are poised to sign West Brom goalkeeper Alex Palmer.

The 28-year-old is due for a medical at Portman Road before the transfer deadline and will leave The Hawthorns having come through the academy.

The total amount Ipswich are paying has been reported as being up to £5m, although various sources are disputing the exact fee.

Palmer has made 104 appearances for West Brom, who are sixth in the Championship, with the Baggies opting to sell him as they believe they have a strong succession plan in Josh Griffiths, Joe Wildsmith and England Under-19 international Ben Cisse.

The Tractor Boys have no plans on moving other goalkeepers out, with Palmer coming in as Christian Walton is sidelined for a number of weeks with a groin injury.
