Leeds United have agreed a deal to sign Belgian forward Largie Ramazani from Almeria.
The Championship club will pay their La Liga counterparts a fee in the region of €11million for the 23-year-old, who spent three years at Manchester United as a teenager.
The playmaker will undergo a medical on Thursday before finalising his move to Elland Road.
Leeds regard the Belgium Under-21 international as a direct replacement for Crysencio Summerville, who joined West Ham United earlier this summer for an undisclosed fee.
Summerville was one of a number of high-profile departures from Elland Road this summer.
Academy graduate Archie Gray joined Tottenham Hotspur in a club-record £40million sale, while Georginio Rutter completed a move to Brighton and Hove Albion for the same fee last week.
Ramazani began his career in Belgium with Anderlecht before joining Charlton Athletic as a 12-year-old.
He spent four years with the south London club before signing for Manchester United as a youth player.
The versatile forward made 29 appearances for Almeria in La Liga last season.
He missed five of the club’s final six games of the campaign after being given a five-game ban for his red card against Villarreal.
Leeds began the new Championship campaign with a 3-3 draw at newly-promoted Portsmouth before being held to a goalless draw at West Bromwich Albion last weekend.
They are next in action against Sheffield Wednesday on Friday evening.
