Manchester City have agreed a £55.5m deal to sign Rennes winger Jeremy Doku, who is is expected to travel to the northwest on Tuesday to undergo a medical.
The 21-year-old has scored 12 goals in 92 appearances for the Ligue 1 side.
Doku is poised to become City’s third major signing of the summer, after Mateo Kovacic from Chelsea for £25m and Josko Gvardiol from RB Leipzig for £77m.
West Ham, Tottenham and Chelsea were also said to be interested in signing Doku.
Amid the incoming players, Riyad Mahrez left City to join Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli and former captain Ilkay Gundogan moved to Barcelona.
City have accepted a offer from Al-Nassr for Spain defender Aymeric Laporte and Portuguese full-back Joao Cancelo appears close to joining Barcelona.
