Ipswich Town have reached an agreement to sign Jens Cajuste on loan from Napoli, the EADT and Ipswich Star understands.
The 25-year-old midfielder - who has been capped 23 times by Sweden - is currently in Suffolk, but is not expected to complete his move today ahead of tomorrow's Premier League opener against Liverpool at Portman Road.
Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano reports that the move will become permanent if Kieran McKenna's men avoid relegation this season.
