Manchester City are closing in on an agreement with Eintracht Frankfurt for forward Omar Marmoush, talkSPORT understands.
The two clubs held advanced talks on Saturday and there is confidence that the deal could go through next week.
Frankfurt are looking for a total package worth north of £60million for the Egypt international.
Marmoush scored in their 1-0 win over FC St Pauli on Saturday to extend his Bundesliga goal tally to 14 for the season.
This is one behind Harry Kane, who has netted 15 for Bayern Munich and sits top of the scoring charts in Germany.
Marmoush is set to be one of two new arrivals at City as they have also agreed a deal worth £33m plus add-ons for Abdukodir Khusanov.
The 20-year-old centre-back will join from Lens and sign a four-and-a-half year contract with the option of another 12 months.
City have been missing Ruben Dias and John Stones in the centre of defence recently, with both players nursing injuries.
They could be without another experienced player this month as Pep Guardiola revealed that Kyle Walker has asked to leave the club.
“He said to the club two days ago that he wants to explore going abroad,” he told talkSPORT after their 8-0 FA Cup win over Salford City. “He wants to finish his career in another place.
“He asked two years ago and I tried to convince him to commit to stay and he signed a contract and he was really important and won the Premier League last season as a captain.
“Now he’s saying that he would like to go to another country in this transfer window.
“He’s a player who when he’s fit and he’s focused with the attitude as a player he can play one, two, three more years. I’ve never seen a physical condition like he has in my life.
“All the success we’ve had in the eight years belongs a huge part to him and the guys almost had 100 games with the England national team.
“I don’t need to tell you how important he’s been but now he’s said to the club that he wants another experience – to explore was the word – and we will see what happens.”
City will hope their heavy January spending inspires an upturn in form during the second half of the season.
Their Premier League title hopes hang by a thread as they are sixth in the table and 12 points behind leaders Liverpool.
