Aston Villa have reached an agreement to sign Scotland captain Rachel Corsie.
The Kansas City Current defender is keen to return to the UK after three and a half years in the NWSL.
The deal is still pending international clearance.
Corsie was loaned out to Birmingham at the start of last season and has played seven games for the Blues.
But the 32-year-old is now set to join Birmingham rivals Villa, who will become the ninth different club in her 16-year playing career.
Aston Villa sign Scott on loan
Corsie would be Villa’s third signing of the January window following the arrivals of Jill Scott from Manchester City and Anna Patten from Arsenal.
On Tuesday, Villa confirmed the signing of Scott on loan from City until the end of the season.
Villa were among four WSL clubs interested in signing the 34-year-old England midfielder this window.
Scott, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Everton, was keen to move ahead of this summer’s Euros after losing his place in City’s starting line-up.
