Striker Josh Sargent has completed a medical at Norwich City ahead of an £8m transfer from Werder Bremen.
The 21-year-old USA international will fly into England to complete the transfer, which was agreed on Friday.
Sargent was pulled from Bremen's squad for their German Cup clash with VfL Osnabruck on Saturday, having been excused from training on Friday as well.
Werder's sporting director Frank Baumann said of Sargent: "We are about to finalise a transfer with a foreign club. Because of this, Josh told us that he wasn't in the right frame of mind to play on Saturday. As a result, we let him go home from training."
Sargent was one of few players to come out of Bremen's 2020/21 season, one which ended in relegation, with any credit.
He scored seven goals in all competitions and also hit the target twice on the opening day of the 2. Bundesliga season last weekend against Fortuna Dusseldorf.
Sargent is one of America's brightest talents on the international stage as well, having already won 16 senior caps after a prolific goalscoring record in youth football.
