Ipswich are close to completing the loan signing of Ben Godfrey from Atalanta.
Mail Sport revealed last month that Ipswich and Wolves had expressed interest in the former Everton centre-back, who has agreed to join McKenna.
Godfrey has only played five games for Atalanta and is keen to play regularly again.
After starting at York City, Godfrey joined Norwich in January 2016 and played for the Canaries in the Premier League during the 2019-2020 season.
