Manchester City are lining up a January deal for Sporting Kansas City defender Erik Palmer-Brown.
The 20-year-old is out of contract at the end of the MLS season and had been offered new terms to stay but has a four year contract proposal on the table from City.
Sporting Kansas plan to retain his MLS rights and Palmer-Brown is expected to join City then go out on loan.
Palmer-Brown was on the bench for Sporting KC for their 1-1 draw with Columbus Crew on Sunday.
