Sky Sports understands Ipswich Town are closing in on the signing of former Wolves defender Christophe Berra.

Scotland international Berra is available on a free transfer after leaving Wolves earlier this summer.

Rangers and a number of Championship clubs have expressed an interest in signing Berra, but Ipswich are leading the race for the former Hearts man.

Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy is a big fan of the central defender having signed him during his time in charge of Wolves.

The 28-year-old is thought to be keen on a move to be reunited with McCarthy and talks are thought to be at an advanced stage with the Portman Road outfit.
