Barnsley captain Liam Kitching is expected to join Coventry City tonight, the Chronicle understands.
The defender has had a medical with the Championship Sky Blues.
City had several bids rejected for him this summer but are now understood to have agreed a fee - despite chairman Neerav Parekh saying last month the Reds were 'definitely keeping' Kitching.
Barnsley have signed left-back Owen Dodgson on loan from Burnley and are expected to bring at least one more player in before tonight's 11pm deadline.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
