Hull City are finalising a deal for Palermo striker Abel Hernandez.
The Daily Mail says Hernandez will complete his move to Hull City but a work-permit hearing means he is unlikely to be available for the weekend.
A fee approaching £10million - a club record - has been agreed for the Palermo striker but he still needs the necessary paperwork before the deal is done.
Hernandez - who has completed a medical and agreed personal terms - has been capped 14 times by Uruguay and was part of their squad at the World Cup in Brazil, so manager Steve Bruce does not envisage any problems in that respect.
