Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini says the Eastlands club have reached a deal to sign Bosnian striker Edin Dzeko from Wolfsburg.
The 24-year-old, scorer of 66 goals in 111 games for the German side, is under contract until 2013 but a bid of about ÂŁ30m will trigger a buy-out clause.
"We have an important game at Arsenal coming up and I will speak about him after that," said Mancini.
"We've agreed a fee. He's a good player and all the teams in Europe want him."
Wolfsburg boss Steve McClaren said he was reluctant to see Dzeko leave, but added that City would be buying a player who was "ideal" for them.
"He is a goal scorer who gets them with his left foot, his right foot, his head - he can score all types of goals," McClaren told the Daily Telegraph.
"He is a good buy for them. He's a good boy but he needs to work harder now he is in the Premier League than he does at present. But he will adjust, no problem.
"He definitely has something that City miss. He will be ideal for City, especially alongside Carlos Tevez. That will be a very potent partnership."
