Wolfsburg striker Edin Dzeko is reportedly due to have a medical on Wednesday or Thursday, paving the way to a 27 million pound move to Manchester City.
The 24-year-old joined Wolfsburg in 2007 and has scored 66 goals from his 111 games for the Bundesliga club.
He is under contract until 2013, but City boss Roberto Mancini revealed on Tuesday the two clubs had agreed a fee for the Bosnian.
Wolfsburg boss Steve McClaren admitted he would be sorry to see the striker depart, but was confident he could succeed in the English Premier League.
“He is a goal scorer who gets them with his left foot, his right foot, his head – he can score all types of goals,” McClaren told the Daily Telegraph.
“He is a good buy for them. He’s a good boy but he needs to work harder now he is in the Premier League than he does at present. But he will adjust, no problem.”
“He definitely has something that City miss. He will be ideal for City, especially alongside Carlos Tevez. That will be a very potent partnership.”
