Conor Hourihane will undergo a medical today ahead of his proposed loan move from Swansea City to Aston Villa.
The Republic of Ireland international is set to join the Swans on a temporary basis until the end of the 2020/21 campaign.
And it's understood he will be put through his paces in a medical at the Swans' Fairwood training complex on Wednesday.
The deal is expected to be officially announced well before Saturday's FA Cup fourth round clash with Nottingham Forest at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday.
And given that Hourihane did not feature for the Villans in their third round defeat to Liverpool, the 29-year-old will be eligible to feature for Steve Cooper's side at the weekend.
Ahead of the move, former Aston Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor sent his best wishes to Hourihane on social media.
Writing on his official Instagram account, the ex-forward turned pundit said: "Love this guy always hungry to play football... Good luck at Swansea bro and look forward to seeing you back at Villa next season."
And Hourihane responded: "Thanks brother."
Swansea are also hoping to complete the loan signing of Jordan Morris from Seattle Sounders this week.
The USA international is expected to arrive in the United Kingdom ahead of a medical, with Morris due to spend the rest of the season in south Wales.
The Swans will have the option to make the attacker's move permanent in the summer.
