Galatasaray have accepted Stoke City's offer for Badou Ndiaye and expect a move to go through at some point on deadline day, according to a report.
The Potters have left it late to bring in midfield cover, pushing ahead with a £15m approach over the weekend which has come back successful.
Stoke still have to come to an agreement regarding the structure of payments, however, while personal terms and a medical also have to be factored in.
Sky Sports News suggests that visa issues could further complicate matters, but both teams are still confident that Ndiaye will be a Stoke player come the official close of the winter window.
A number of other clubs had shown an interest in the Nigeria international, who has three assists and a goal in 17 Super Lig outings this term.
