Liverpool defender Ben Davies is set to join Sheffield United on loan.
A season-long deal was agreed on Saturday morning and final details are being arranged to complete the move early next week.
Davies was the first choice of new Sheffield United manager Slavisa Jokanovic to fill the position of the left half-centre.

Talks have been underway for a while and the Blades wanted the option to buy Davies, but Liverpool turned it down.
An undisclosed loan fee which also includes an upgrade bonus is also included if Sheffield United are promoted back to the Premier League this term.
The Reds had been planning to keep Davis as a backup defender, but Reese Williams is said to have impressed Jurgen Klopp in pre-season and Davies needs regular matches.

Davies joined Liverpool on a £2m deal from Preston in January, but did not make the first team match competitively.
Liverpool were struggling with central defender options last season, with Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip injured, so they also brought on Ozan Kabak on loan from Schalke 04 that month.
They have since signed Ibrahim Konate from Leipzig this summer for £36m.
