Jack Grealish is on Thursday undergoing a medical ahead of becoming the most expensive Englishman of all time when he completes a British record £100million move from Aston Villa to Manchester City.
The England international was this morning finalising the deal ahead of an official announcement.
City reached an agreement with Villa on Wednesday as Pep Guardiola moved closer to ending his long-term pursuit of the attacking midfielder.
The Premier League champions will then turn their attention to Harry Kane, with increasing confidence at the Etihad that the Tottenham captain will follow his Three Lions teammate Grealish to the blue half of Manchester.
Kanes failure to report for pre-season training this week has underlined his desire to leave Spurs this summer in his pursuit of silverware.

Guardiola is determined to overhaul his attack despite City last term winning their third title in four seasons.
The departure of Sergio Aguero means he needs a world-class replacement at centre forward, while Grealishs arrival will help to fill the void after David Silvas exit 12 months ago.
Citys willingness to pay £100m for Grealish may only add the pressure on them to come up with a bid of around £150m for Kane, given his status as arguably the best striker in world football.
