Chuba Akpom will complete a move to Ajax Amsterdam after the Eredivisie giants agreed a deal with Sky Bet Championship club, Middlesbrough.
Akpom was on the verge of sealing a move to RC Lens last week but the Ligue 1 outfit pulled out at the last minute despite already agreeing a deal with Middlesbrough.
According to The Athletics, Ajax struck a deal with Middlesbrough for the striker on Sunday night.
The Amsterdam club will pay £12m plus £2m add-ons for the Nigerian-born player.
Akpom will undergo medical on Monday (today) and then sign a five-year contract.
The 27-year-old was top scorer in the Sky Bet Championship last season with 28 goals.
The forward was also named Player of the Season in the division. READ ALSO:
