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 link up with McKenna.
Godfrey has made just five appearances for Atalanta and is eager to play regularly again.
After starting out at York City, Godfrey joined Norwich in January 2016 and featured for the Canaries in the Premier League during the 2019-20 season.
