Robert Snodgrass will have a medical at Aston Villa on Friday afternoon ahead of a season-long loan from West Ham.
Snodgrass only signed for West Ham in January for £7.5m, but was told he was surplus to requirements by Slaven Bilic earlier this summer.
Villa have beaten off interest from Sunderland and Birmingham to sign the 29-year-old Scotland international and will have an option to buy him at the end of the season.
His arrival will trigger the departure of Villa striker Ross McCormack to Sunderland on loan.
