Leeds are set to sign Ipswich defender Alex Bruce after the plug was pulled on his transfer to Yorkshire rivals Sheffield United.

That alerted Leeds boss Simon Grayson and he quickly agreed a similar fee with the Tractor Boys, rising to £300,000 based on appearances.
The Republic of Ireland international defender, who played 127 games in four years at Portman Road after signing on a free transfer from Birmingham, is set to undergo a medical on Thursday morning and then complete the necessary paperwork.
