Forward Fousseni Diabate has admitted that he is delighted to have moved to the brink of securing a move to Leicester City from Gazelec Ajaccio.
Over the past few days, the two clubs have negotiated a deal for the Mali international, who has been in the East Midlands to undergo a medical.
With only formalities to be completed, Diabate has claimed that completing a switch to the King Power Stadium will be "a dream come true".
The 22-year-old is quoted by L'Equipe as saying: "This autumn, I was disappointed not to see the interest of Rennes come true, but when my advisor told me about the interest of Leicester, it immediately excited me and today is a dream come true.
"I want to thank my mother who has always supported me despite my different challenges, my advisers for the confidence they have in me but also the officials of Gazélec who offered me my first professional contract."
Diabate has netted three times in 20 appearances for the Ligue 2 outfit during the current campaign.
