Ipswich have completed the loan signing of Argentinian Sixto Peralta from Inter Milan. The midfielder Peralta - nicknamed 'Mumo' - is expected to be available for the club's home game with Charlton on Saturday.
The loan deal has been sealed following talks between Ipswich chairman David Sheepshanks and manager George Burley this afternoon.
Sheepshanks said: "I am delighted to welcome Mumo to Portman Road - and we hope he has a very successful time with us.
"Following this initial season there is a possibility of extending the arrangement when his loan contact expires in June 2002."
Burley added: "Mumo is a very talented young player who can play in any position along the midfield.
"He will give the squad strength and depth and he has undoubted quality to push for a regular place in the side." - PA
