French central defender Julian Jeanvier is set to undergo a medical on Monday ahead of a £1.8m move to Brentford.
The Bees, who have been looking to add to their defensive options since the sale of John Egan to Sheffield United, have agreed a deal to sign Jeanvier, 26, from Reims.
They were in talks with Olympiacos about Belgian defender Bjorn Engels but could not reach an agreement so turned their attention to Jeanvier.
Jeanvier has been with Ligue 1 club Reims since 2016. He was previously at Lille and Nancy and has also had spells on loan at French club Red Star and Belgian side Mouscron.
