Aston Villa have agreed a £13m deal for Wolves midfielder Leander Dendoncker.
The Belgian, 27, is surplus to Wolves' requirements and Villa manager Steven Gerrard is keen to strengthen his squad after a poor start to the season.
Villa are also close to signing Southampton defender Jan Bednarek, 26, on loan, as cover for Douglas Costa who ruptured his Achilles.
The move for Dendoncker is unrelated to the future of Brazilian midfielder Douglas Luiz.
Luiz, 24, is attracting interest from Arsenal but Villa are adamant he is not for sale.
West Ham and Everton are also admirers of Dendoncker.
