Wolves are closing in on the signing of Birmingham defender Roger Johnson after agreeing a fee approaching £7million, Press Association Sport understands.
Johnson held talks with Wolves officials at Molineux on Monday morning and was set to undergo a medical later that day.
Sources close to Wolves anticipate the deal being completed sooner rather than later.
Wolves boss Mick McCarthy has been keen to bring in a new centre-back since the end of last season.
He had a £3million-plus bid rejected for Reading's Matt Mills before he moved to Leicester last week.
But Johnson has been on his radar since the end of last season when Blues were relegated from the Premier League.
City had initially been hoping to secure around £10million should Johnson leave St. Andrew's but a compromise has been reached between the two clubs.
Lifelong Chelsea fan Johnson moved from Cardiff to St. Andrew's in a £5million deal two years ago.
He quickly adjusted to the top flight and formed an effective partnership with Scott Dann, another Championship player with Coventry.

Listen Hackett (soounds like a productive cough)
You have zero chance of seeing wolves go down you dirty mincer. You havn't even the most remote chance in hell in seeing blue noses back in premiership next year, more chance of seeing Steven Hawking cutting my lawn or to spell it out MORE PLAINLY.....................................
YOU HAVE MORE CHANCE OF
1. you having a shower more than once in one week,
2. you not paying for it,
3. you going on a diet
4. you not being confused with an extra from a battle scence of Lord of the Rings
5. you not affecting geological (earthquake - you dumb b*tch) sensors
6. you not causing a premature solar eclipse (it goes dark)
7. You producing a legible sentance
Now f*ck off you slapper underneath some bridge where the rest of the trolls live

There won't be many left soon. If we had kept all our top players we could have bounced back at the first attempt. with the club now focussing on cash I fear the worst.
