Former Real Madrid defender Cesar Navas is training with Ipswich Town.

Navas is an old team-mate of Pablo Counago, who has returned to Portman Road from Malaga earlier this month.

Having started his career at Real, Navas joined Malaga and was on loan at Gimnastic last season.

He is due to feature in Ipswich's pre-season friendly with Crawley on Tuesday, along with Arsene Menassou.

The French full-back has linked up with the Championship club from Le Havre and Town boss Jim Magilton is keen to check out the duo.

Magilton told the club's official website: "We will have a look at the two lads on Tuesday and see where we go from there."
