Rotherham United are set to sign forward Jordan Hugill, according to reports.
Football Insider had previously reported that Reading were fighting the Millers, alongside the likes of Birmingham City and Derby County, for the Norwich City forward's signature.
The 30-year-old is surplus to requirements at Carrow Road and is yet to score this season.
A second tier regular with the likes of Preston North End and QPR, the forward is reportedly undergoing a medical in South Yorkshire ahead of a proposed three-and-a-half year deal.

Although unlikely the Royals were ever going to compete, with the club still under an embargo and at their squad limit, it would have seen a fifth first team striker competition for places.
Paul Ince admits that incomings are looking unlikely, with the club needing to get some out before bringing any in, but has targeted midfield as an era to strengthen if possible.
The window shuts in one week.
