CRYSTAL Palace and Wales international midfielder Jonny Williams is heading to Ipswich Town for a month.
The 20-year-old played against the Tractor Boys on Monday in an U21 match and scored, but they were already interested in a deal for the Kent-born star.
Co-chairman Steve Parish confirmed the news to the Advertiser before going to press.
He said: "It's pretty much done. He can't be recalled (during that time).
"Jonny is not miles away from the squad, but we might get an injury so we just need to be sensible.
"We don't want him to be away when we could have done with him in an important game.
"Jonny needs to get to the pace of the game and be sharp.
"He's at that age, isn't he? You look at Tom Ince and Wilfried Zaha, they have played 150 games.
"With injuries, it's all been a bit stop-start for Jonny over the last two years so he needs to go and play a run of games and get super match-fit.
"He played really well for the U21s against Ipswich on Monday.
"We had three clubs who wanted him (all from the Championship). The manager has got a good relationship with Mick McCarthy.
"Ipswich were (one of the clubs) interested before the game, it was just a coincidence we were playing them.
"It's a good place for him to go and Jonny is really happy to go there."
