Ipswich Town have finally agreed a fee for Shrewsbury Town duo Jon Nolan and Toto Nsiala with the pair to undergo a medicals at Portman Road, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.

Nolan and Nsiala handed in transfer requests earlier this week after Shrewsbury rejected a joint-bid from Ipswich for the pair.

Ipswich boss Paul Hurst has made Nolan one of his top targets before the close of the transfer window and a breakthrough has now been made in the talks with Shrewsbury.

Nolan and Nsiala were missing for Saturday’s League One opening day defeat to Bradford City as speculation continued over his future.

Nolan and Nsiala were mainstays of the Shrewsbury side under Hurst last season, making 55 and 58 appearances in all competitions respectively as they reached the League One play-off final only to lose to Rotherham United.

Both players have now been given permission to travel to Suffolk for talks and a medical as they close in on a move to the Championship.

Hurst is keen to strengthen his Ipswich squad before the close of the transfer window with players expected to make the move in and out of Portman Road next week ahead of deadline day.
