AS Monaco have beaten off competition from four Premier League clubs to sign Club Brugge winger Krepin Diatta.
The Ligue 1 side are expected to confirm the deal, worth around £15m, on Thursday.
The signing of Diatta, who has scored 10 goals in 19 league matches this campaign, is a major coup for Monaco who are challenging for European places in Ligue 1 this campaign after a number of difficult years.
Protracted negotiations were finally concluded in the last 24 hours, with Monaco able to secure payment terms over a five-year period for the highly-rated 21-year old Senegalese international.
Diatta started his professional career at Norweigan side Sarpsborg 08 but was there for less than a year before being snapped up by Brugge on a four-year deal.
Diatta has made 10 appearances for Senegal and was named Young Player of the Tournament at the Africa Cup of Nations in 2019.
