Russian international Pavel Pogrebniak is poised for a move to Bundesliga club VfB Stuttgart, the German outfit said on Saturday.
The 25-year-old Zenit Saint Petersburg striker must first pass a medical on Monday with the transfer to be completed early next week.
He is set to sign a four-year deal with the club and fill the gap left by German international Mario Gomez, sold for 35 million euros to Bayern Munich.
Capped 13 times for the national side Pogrebniak joined Zenit in 2007, winning the UEFA Cup in 2008.
He comes Stuttgart’s second recruit after Belarussian midfielder Alexander Hleb from Barcelona.
