The teenager was said to be keen on staying at Ipswich but they have not been able to strike a deal.
Gibbs joined Ipswich in 2011 and has since risen up through their academy.
He made his first-team debut in 2019 in an EFL Trophy clash against Colchester United and has since played three more times for the East Anglian club.
Ipswich have had a successful start to the transfer window and have brought in the likes of Vaclav Hladky, Matt Penney, Wes Burns, Lee Evans, MacAuley Bonne and Rekeem Harper and are in the hunt for more signings.
However, losing Gibbs will be a big blow to Paul Cook’s side.
