FC Twente winger Ola John is set to join Benfica after rejecting moves to Sunderland and Aston Villa, according to reports.
The 19-year-old, who has scored eight goals in 33 appearances this season, is likely to move to the Estadio da Luz as a direct replacement for Nicolas Gaitan, who is expected to leave this summer.
John, who was born in Liberia, has scored seven goals in 12 caps for the Netherlands Under-19s side and is the brother of former Fulham forward Collins John.
According to Portuguese newspaper A Bola, Benfica will clinch his signature in a deal worth around £9m.
