Terms have been agreed between Leeds United and Ipswich Town for the transfer of Leif Davis to Portman Road, with the move expected to go through this week. The 22-year-old has less than one year remaining on his Elland Road deal and little chance of playing much next season.
The Tractor Boys have had a long-held interest in the left-back and were forced to wait for a decision from Leeds and Davis while he had a last chance to impress Jesse Marsch in Australia on tour. After an injury to what was the club’s only fit, senior left-back, the door opened for Davis, but he has not done enough to warrant Premier League starts.
With the former Bournemouth loanee now back from Australia, the finishing touches can be applied to the move and Davis will move to Suffolk for a fee. Earlier this month, East Anglian Daily Times reported it would be a seven-figure buy for Ipswich.
