Sevilla have confirmed they have agreed a deal to sell midfielder Vicente Iborra to Leicester City.
A fee of around £12.5m has been settled upon for Iborra, Sky sources understand, but he has yet to agree personal terms with Leicester.
La Liga side Sevilla have now announced
their captain will head to England for a medical before returning to Spain to bid farewell to the club where he has spent four seasons, with a deal possibly concluded this week.
Leicester City have not made a comment to confirm or deny Sevilla's statement.
It was reported on Monday that talks were ongoing between the clubs, with Foxes manager Craig Shakespeare having been impressed by the 29-year old when the sides met in the Champions League last season.
"Iborra has always shown an exemplary behaviour and has earned the unanimous love and respect of all Sevillians," the club said.
The defensive midfielder, who stands at 6ft 3in tall, has lifted the Europa League on three occasions during his time at Sevilla and scored seven goals last season.
