Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun is due at Middlesbrough for a medical on Tuesday ahead of his loan move to the Riverside Stadium.
The two clubs have agreed a deal for Balogun to move to Boro for the remainder of the season.
It is now poised to be completed after the short-term switch was held up due to the youngster testing positive for Covid.
Balogun will join on a straight loan deal with Championship Boro agreeing to cover a portion of his wages.
The 20-year-old will be Boro’s second striker signing from the Premier League this month to bolster their play-off push after Aaron Connolly’s loan arrival from Brighton.
