Sources: Colchester United agree to sign Ipswich Town ace Dobra
Colchester United have agreed to sign Ipswich Town winger Armando Dobra, Football Insider has learned.
The 20-year-old attacker has been given the green light to go on loan to the League Two outfit to get regular senior football.
An Ipswich source has told Football Insider that Dobra is set to spend the full season at Colchester after terms were agreed.
Dobra progressed through the youth ranks at Portman Road after joining the club in 2017.
He signed a new three-year contract with Ipswich in May 2020, keeping him at the club until 2023 with the option of a further year.
The winger was incredibly impressive when he made his senior bow a few years ago.
He scored on his first-team debut for the club in a 3–1 loss to Luton in the EFL Cup in August 2019.
His second outing brought more success with Dobra assisting goals in a 2–1 win against Tottenham Hotspur U21s in the EFL Trophy.
In total, he has made 30 appearances for Ipswich with two of those coming this season.
His move to Colchester will be his first spell away from Portman Road as he looks to find a period of regular first-team football.
Despite being born in England, Dobra qualifies to play for Albania and has made appearances for their Under 19 and Under 21 sides.
Colchester find themselves 13th in League Two after a mixed start to the season, winning one, losing one and drawing three.
Ipswich have struggled to find form this season with no wins on the board after five games in League One.
