Australian defender Kye Rowles is set to join Hearts after the Tynecastle club agreed terms, according to a report.
The Central Coast Mariners star made his full Australia debut this week and has been heavily linked with a move to Robbie Neilson 's team.
And now the Edinburgh Evening News say he has agreed terms on a long-term contract with Hearts set to pay Mariners an undisclosed fee.
It's claimed his medical and work permit are the only roadblocks left in the way and a deal could be announced imminently.
The deal for Rowles comes after the success of Cammy Devlin who has been a hit since arriving from Newcastle Jets in January.
Rowles made his full debut for his country during the week and the 23-year old is seen as his country's most promising prospects.
And he'll be a boost to Neilson's defensive options as Hearts get set for a crack at the Europa League next season.
Rowles arrives to replace John Souttar who joined Rangers on a free transfer.
He is likely to become their second summer signing after the arrival of Alan Forrest from Livingston.
