West Bromwich Albion are set to sign Bristol City goalkeeper Max O'Leary, reports BBC Radio WM.
The 29-year-old has played only five Championship matches for the Robins this season, keeping two clean sheets, and featured in a 2-1 win at The Hawthorns on Boxing Day.
He missed the start of the season having had ankle surgery after Bristol City's play-off semi-final defeat by Sheffield United in May, and has since lost the number one spot to Manchester United loanee Radek Vitek.
West Brom have alternated between goalkeepers Joe Wildsmith and Josh Griffiths this season but have already conceded eight goals in new boss Eric Ramsay's opening two games in charge.
Only Sheffield Wednesday (54) have conceded more than the Baggies' 43 goals in the Championship so far this season.
O'Leary could sign in time for West Brom's trip to Derby County on Friday (20:00 GMT) with a six-month deal on the table.
