Aston Villa are set to snare Sheffield United starlet Matt Lowton for a fee thought to be in the region of £3m.
The versatile defender - most comfortable as an attacking right-back - will become new Villa boss Paul Lambert's second signing following the arrival of midfielder Karim El Ahmadi.
Lowton signed a new deal at Bramall Lane only last year but was keen to test himself in the top-flight following the Blades' League One play-off final failure.
He is the latest promising youngster to emerge from United's academy, following the likes of Kyle Naughton and Kyle Walker into the Premier League.
But is imminent arrival puts the future of Scotland international Alan Hutton, signed by Lambert's predecessor Alex McLeish, in doubt.
