Diafra Sakho has reportedly passed his medical with Rennes ahead of a transfer from West Ham United.
On Wednesday afternoon, it was claimed that the Senegal international was en route to France ahead of a £9m move to Rennes.
According to Sky Sports News, Sakho has now passed his medical with the Ligue 1 outfit, and will sign a long-term contract with the Red and Blacks, who finished ninth in the top flight of French football last season.
The 27-year-old scored 10 Premier League goals in 23 appearances for the Hammers during the 2014-15 season, but an injury-plagued couple of years has seen the forward appear in just six league matches since the start of last season.
It is currently unclear whether West Ham have a replacement lined up ahead of Thursday night's deadline.
