Manchester United have agreed to sign Dutch striker Wout Weghorst on loan for the rest of the season.
The 30-year-old Burnley striker spent the first half of the season at Besiktas but is now heading to Manchester for a medical before the move can be completed.
An agreement has been reached for his loan to the Turkish club to be terminated.
Weghorst has scored eight goals and registered four assists in 16 league games for Besiktas.
His last goal came in a 2-1 win over Kasimpasa on January 7 and after that game he seemed to say goodbye to the Besiktas fans.
The move allows United manager Erik ten Hag to bring in his fellow Dutchman to fill the vacancy he has for a striker in his squad.
Weghorst also scored two late goals for the Netherlands in their World Cup quarter-final with Argentina last month.
He also scored in the penalty shootout, which Argentina went on to win.
The 30-year-old scored two goals in 20 appearances for Burnley following his £12million arrival from Wolfsburg 12 months ago, a contribution that was not enough to prevent the Clarets from being relegated to the Championship.
If there are no problems, Weghorst could be saved in time to take part in Saturday’s derby game against Manchester City at Old Trafford.
