Manchester City have agreed a deal in principle to sign Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi this month.
City started talks to sign the England international centre back this month following injuries to defenders Josko Gvardiol and Ruben Dias.
Guehi, who has been linked with some of Europe’s top clubs, is out of contract in the summer and was close to joining Liverpool on deadline day before the move fell through.
BBC Sport reported earlier this month that City were exploring a move for Guehi and talks have accelerated in the last 24 hours and Guehi is now expected to join City on a long-term contract this month.
Personal terms have not formally been agreed but aren’t expected to be an issue.
City have already signed Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth in the current transfer window for £62.5m.
