Leeds United have agreed an £8.5m deal to sign Swiss defender Nico Elvedi.
The 29-year-old is travelling to England for a medical on Monday after Borussia Monchengladbach accepted an offer worth an initial £6.8m, with a further £1.7m in add-ons.
The versatile Switzerland international is set to end his 11-year stay with the German top-flight club by moving to Elland Road.
Elvedi is a highly experienced addition, having earned 73 caps for his country and featured as part of Switzerland's squad at this summer's World Cup.
Asked about the deal after a 4-0 pre-season win over Augsburg, Leeds manager Daniel Farke said: "I've been working in football long enough to know everything is only final once the medical checks are completed and all the paperwork is signed. We've seen situations like this before.
