Netherlands striker Wout Weghorst is travelling to Manchester United to finalise his loan move from Burnley after ending his Besiktas stay.
The 30-year-old had been on loan at the Turkish club but has decided to move to Old Trafford until the end of the season.
Information gathered that Weghorst has visited the Besiktas offices to sign papers to terminate his loan agreement at the club.
Weghorst who scored twice against Argentina in the Netherlands’ World Cup quarter-final defeat in Qatar will now travel to Manchester to complete a loan move to United after a deal was agreed in principle..
Manchester United will pay a loan fee and cover the player’s wages. It is thought the total package is in the region of £4m.
If all goes to plan, it is hoped Weghorst will train with the team before the weekend with United aiming to have him registered by midday on Friday to have him available for Saturday’s Manchester derby.
United manager Erik ten Hag has been searching for a striker replacement since Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract was mutually terminated during the World Cup after his explosive interview.
