Franny Jeffers is in talks over leaving Everton for a coaching role with Ipswich Town.

The 40-year-old is part of David Unsworth's under-23s backroom staff but now looks set for a move into the senior game.

Ipswich, who recently went through a £40m takeover by US firm Gamechanger 20 Ltd, are managed by Paul Cook and the Liverpool-born boss is keen to add Jeffers to his ranks.

Jeffers was on the touchline for Everton u-23s' final Premier League 2 game of the season on Friday night against Southampton, but reports today say the former Blues' striker has spent the last 48 hours in Ipswich.

Talks are on-going between Jeffers, Everton and Ipswich but the former England international appears set on a move to the League One outfit.
