Chelsea midfielder Josh McEachran looks likely to join Middlesbrough on loan.
A number of clubs have been linked with the 19-year-old but he appears to have opted for a move to Teesside.
McEachran recently told West London Sport he was in talks with several clubs and expected to leave Stamford Bridge on a six-month loan shortly.
He said: “For my career I think it’s important to play regularly and pick up as much experience as possible, and that’s what I’m looking to do.
“There are a few Championship and Premier League teams interested and it’s just about picking the right club for me.
“I’ll go for six months and then we’ll review it again and see what happens next.”
His move has taken longer than expected to be finalised, but by Friday evening McEachran seemed certain to choose Boro.
Blackburn, Wigan and Bolton are among the other clubs to have shown an interest in him.
