Town have agreed a fee with FC Nordsjælland for Norwegian international forward Sindre Walle Egeli.
Just over a week ago, the Blues were reported to be close to a deal for the 19-year-old with discussions having continued between the sides.
The clubs have now come to an agreement regarding a fee and the right-sided attacker was pictured on a flight from Copenhagen to the UK this morning and will be at the club to complete the formalities on his switch later this morning.
The fee is understood to be lower than reports in Denmark which claim the Blues will be paying an initial €20 million (£17.33 million) plus potentially a further €5 million (£4.3 million) in add-ons but will almost certainly be a new record paid by a Championship club, eclipsing the £15.4 million Burnley paid Genk for Mike Tresor last summer.
Larvik-born Egeli joined Nordsjælland’s academy from Sandefjord in his home country in 2022 and since then has made 43 appearances, scoring 11 goals and picking up 10 assists.
Having won Norway caps at U15, U16, U17, U18, U19 and U21 levels, he won his first and so far only full cap in 2024.
Given his age, Egeli wouldn’t count towards Town’s 25-man Championship squad.
