Liam Delap is closing in on a move to Chelsea, talkSPORT understands.
Delap has given the green light to a switch to Stamford Bridge and Chelsea are confident he will sign.
The England Under-21 striker, who has a £30million release clause in his Ipswich contract, has also held talks with both Manchester United and Newcastle as well as Everton.
Delap was believed to be leaning towards a switch to United but Chelsea have the trump card of being able to offer Champions League football.
Should the move eventuate, it would herald a reunion with Blues boss Enzo Maresca.
The Italian previously worked with Delap at Manchester City, where the latter spent five years after signing aged 16.
