West Ham are set to announce the signing of 19-year-old Brescia striker Savio Nsereko.
The Uganda-born German will be a direct replacement for Craig Bellamy, who moved to Manchester City last week.
The fee for Nsereko has not been revealed but it is expected to be a club record, topping the £7.5m West Ham paid Liverpool for Bellamy in 2007.
Hammers technical director Gianluca Nani worked with the Germany Under-19 international when he was at Brescia.
The forward can play in a variety of attacking positions and was named player of the tournament at last year's Uefa Under-19 Championship in the Czech Republic, which was won by Germany.
He was also reported to have attracted interest from Italian giants Roma and Juventus.
