Dundee United have agreed a fee with Berwick Rangers for 20-year-old midfielder Danny Swanson.
Swanson will train with the Scottish Premier League club part-time until the transfer window opens, according to the Second Division outfit.
United manager Craig Levein said: "We're in the process of doing a deal with Berwick.
"We've got one or two things still to iron out but we're hoping to have it tied up in the next week or so."
