Robbie Fowler has agreed personal terms with Manchester City and will undergo a medical tomorrow.
Fowler, who currently earns £42,000-per-week at Leeds, is understood to be taking a £7,000-per-week pay-cut to link up with City boss Kevin Keegan.
City confirmed on their website, www.mcfc.co.uk, that Fowler has agreed a four-and-a-half-year deal.
The club say he will now have a medical tomorrow and if given the all-clear is likely to partner Nicolas Anelka against Newcastle on Saturday.
Leeds have already accepted a £7m (€10.65m) bid for the striker from their Premiership rivals.
