Brentford are on the verge of signing Stuttgarter Kickers midfielder Besar Halimi, according to reports in Germany.
The 20-year-old had been linked with a move to Borussia Dortmund in January but is now expected to move to Griffin Park for a fee of €750,000.
Mainz 05 had been in the running but Halimi opted against moving there and has parted with his advisors.

It is the second time Brentford have raided the German lower divisions this summer after signing Akaki Gogia from Halle FC in May.
Halimi started his career coming through the ranks of VfB Stuttgart and was under contract with the club until 2016.
Brentford have also signed Ryan Williams, Konstantin Kerschbaumer, Andreas Bjelland, Yoann Barbet along with Gogia this summer, while Tony Craig, Tommy Smith, Alfie Mawson and Nick Proschwitz have left the club.
