Wigan look poised to sign Swansea striker Jason Scotland after the two clubs agreed a transfer fee.
The Latics lodged an official bid with the Swans earlier this week and chairman Huw Jenkins said he and the board needed a couple of days to consider it.
It has now been accepted and the player will discuss personal terms, although that is unlikely to be a stumbling block.
"Wigan are delighted to confirm we have agreed a fee with Swansea City for the transfer of Trinidad and Tobago international striker Jason Scotland," said a statement from the Premier League club.
"The player has been given official permission to speak with Latics and he has been in Wigan to undergo a medical and discuss personal terms."
The only delay in the transfer going through may be down to issues surrounding the 30-year-old's work permit.
Wigan boss Roberto Martinez already has a close relationship with the Trinidad and Tobago international having managed him at the Liberty Stadium before he moved to Wigan to replace Steve Bruce as manager.
Scotland is set to become the Spaniard's third signing since he took over last month after midfielders Jordi Gomez, whom Martinez had on loan at Swansea last season, was bought from Espanyol and Honduras international Hendry Thomas arrived from Deportivo Olimpia.
