Ipswich Town closing in on signing of West Brom keeper Alex Palmer

Ipswich Town are closing in on the transfer deadline day signing of Alex Palmer from West Bromwich Albion. The EADT and Ipswich Star understands an initial fee of £2m has been agreed for the 28-year-old and he is on his way to Suffolk to undergo a medical. The Blues have moved to add to their goalkeeping ranks due to Aro Muric's form and a significant groin injury suffered by Christian Walton.

Muric, an £8m summer signing from Burnley, was dropped at the start of 2025 and conceded two poor goals in Saturday's disappointing 2-1 home defeat to Southampton. Palmer has kept 29 clean sheets in the Championship since the start of the 2023/24 season and was due to be out of contract at the Hawthorns in 18 months' time..
