Bristol City midfielder Tyreeq Bakinson is set to join Ipswich Town on loan until the end of the season, with discussions taking place over an option to make the move permanent, Bristol Live understands.
As first reported by Football Insider, Bakinson is on the verge of dropping down a division in League One where he would be reunited with former Robins chief executive Mark Ashton at Portman Road.
City activated the 12-month option in the 23-year-old's contract before Christmas with manager Nigel Pearson all-but admitting that was as much for business reasons as it was sporting. Now under contract until 2023, if Bakinson impresses in Suffolk that could enable a permanent switch in the summer.
