Ipswich Town have agreed to sign Wigan midfielder Lee Evans on a three-year contract when he becomes a free agent.
Evans, 26, will be reunited with manager Paul Cook who brought him back to Wigan for a second spell, initially on loan from Sheffield United in 2018.
The Wales international played 21 times in League One last season for the Latics and had been offered new terms.
He becomes Ipswich's second close season signing after forward Wes Burns joined from Fleetwood on Thursday.
"This is a huge football club and it's a massive honour to be here," Evans said.
"I've played for the manager before and he's shown a lot of faith in me in bringing me here in a season when there is only one aim and that's to get promoted.
"That's a big compliment to me and I can't thank him enough."
