The Potters have bolstered their defense by adding the likes of Ibrahima Sonko, Danny Higginbotham and Andrew Davies to the set up at the Britania Stadium.
It is also understood that this is the player Town were close to signing hours before the transfer window shut.
If Jim moves for the defender, then he will wait as long as possible to ensure he make use of the 93 days he would be at Portman Road. Under rules set out by the football league no premiership player can join for longer than 93 days during the emergency loan window.
