Sergio Aguero is undergoing a medical ahead of his anticipated move to Manchester City from Atletico Madrid.
The Argentina international arrived at Manchester Airport on Wednesday morning and has headed straight for a north west hospital to undergo medical tests.
He's also due to hold talks with City over personal terms with a fee, understood to be in the region of £38million, believed to have been agreed.
Atletico Madrid striker Sergio Aguero is sure his move to Manchester City will be completed soon after he arrived in England to meet club officials.
"Just arrived in Manchester to finalise the details of signing with City," Aguero wrote on Twitter.
"Everything is going very well! I'll tell you more in a while."
City boss Roberto Mancini revealed his interest in Aguero earlier this month and admitted on Monday that he was keen to see a deal concluded this week.
And it appears the 23-year-old's proposed big-money move to the ambitious Premier League club is now a step closer to being completed.
Aguero revealed earlier in the summer that he was planning to quit Atletico, who he joined in 2006 from Independiente in his homeland.
Real Madrid was thought to be his most likely destination, before City confirmed their interest and moved swiftly to the head of the queue.
Aguero was on international duty for Argentina in the Copa America, but was unable to prevent the hosts from suffering a disappointing early exit.
It has been suggested that the arrival of the highly-rated striker could pave the way for Carlos Tevez to leave, but Mancini has always insisted he wants his skipper to remain despite his well-publicised desire to depart.
Atletico coach Gregorio Manzano admitted on Tuesday night that Aguero's departure looked imminent.
"It seems as though in the coming hours we will have a final outcome to the issue that has has occupied us for so long," he told Spanish radio station Cope.
"It is already in it's final stretch, I've asked the players to focus on Thursday's game [an Europa League tie against Stromsgodset].
"Unfortunately we won't be able to call on Kun [Aguero]."
