Press Association Sport is reporting that Birmingham City are close to signing Curtis Davies from Aston Villa.
Sources at St Andrews admit they expect a deal to be completed for the central defender within the next 24 hours.
It is thought that the move will be a straight cash sport deal worth around £3.5million.
However, the two clubs are also discussing a potential swap deal which could see City winger Sebastian Larsson plus £1.5million winging its way to Villa Park.
Meanwhile, Birmingham manager Alex McLeish has also not hidden his desire to sign a striker in the January transfer window.
He failed in landing Robbie Keane and Kenny Miller, and has now turned his sights to former Newcastle forward Obafemi Martins.
Speaking about any potential move, McLeish said: "The board are trying very hard to bring someone in and are working around the clock in terms of negotiating with people.
"After a couple of disappointments, I prefer not to discuss anyone publicly until the i's have been dotted and the t's crossed in any deal."
