Australian international striker Mile Sterjovski will hold transfer talks with Derby County on Thursday, BBC Radio Derby understands.
The 28-year-old plays for Turkish club Genclerbirligi Oftasspor.
He is expected to join new signings Laurent Robert, Emanuel Villa and Robbie Savage at Pride Park.
Rams boss Paul Jewell said: "He's a wide player who can play up front as well and (former Australia boss) Guus Hiddink rates him highly."
Sterjovski featured under Hiddink at the 2006 World Cup and has scored five goals for the Socceroos.
Jewell added: "He has got decent pace and can finish."
"We've seen him play and have been made of aware of him. We think it will be a good signing for us."
The Derby manager is also hoping to have Tottenham midfielder Hossam Ghaly and Rangers keeper Roy Carroll in his squad for Saturday's game with Wigan.
