Cameron Archer is undergoing a medical at Sheffield United ahead of a move from Aston Villa.
Various reports claim that the two Premier League clubs have agreed a deal worth £18million for the forward.
Archer netted 11 goals and contributed a further six assists during a half-season loan spell at Middlesbrough in the 22/23 campaign.
The Blades have been on the lookout for a new forward following Iliman Ndiaye's departure for Marseille at the beginning of August.
It's believed that the deal will contain the option of a buyback for Villa. Crystal Palace, Leeds and Luton were also credited with interest in the 21-year-old.
He will become the Blades’ eighth summer signing following their promotion back to the top-flight last season.
