Argentinian left midfielder Luciano Civelli is at the club and will undergo a medical tomorrow. The 22-year-old is discussing personal terms, having been given a tour of the ground, with the move expected to be confirmed later in the week.
Boss Jim Magilton told the club site: "The player is here now and we are getting close to sorting everything out.
"He will have a medical on Tuesday and if all goes according to plan, then he will sign this week."
Last week, the clubs agreed a deal for a fee of US$1.5 million (almost £1.1 million).
Elsewhere, former Blue Ian Westlake has left Leeds by mutual consent, having agreed to join former loan club Cheltenham for the remainder of the season.
