Ipswich Town have confirmed that they are on the verge of signing Australian international Tommy Oar.
The winger will join the Tractor Boys on a free transfer, having reached the end of his contract with Dutch outfit FC Utrecht.
"We have watched Tommy a few times and checked him out on our scouting system. We have done our due diligence on him and he will be a good signing for us," Ipswich manager Mick McCarthy told the club's website.
"I spoke to Jan Wouters (former Holland international), who worked with him at Utrecht, and he gave him a glowing report.
"He is quick and direct and puts some great crosses in. He does all the tracking back as well. I'm delighted to have him. He's a full Australian international and he will add to the competition here."
Oar is expected to join up with his new Ipswich teammates this weekend.
