The striker, 31, is undergoing a medical with the Yorkshire club ahead of his move to the John Smith’s Stadium.
Ladapo left Ipswich by mutual consent at the end of the summer window to pursue a move away from Portman Road – where he had fallen down the pecking order.
He is set for a return to League One with Huddersfield, who were relegated from the Championship last term.
The forward helped Ipswich gain promotion to the Premier League last term.
Ladapo hit two goals in 17 appearances in the Championship for the Tractor Boys in the first half of the 2023-24 campaign.
