Former Manchester United forward Anthony Martial is close to finalising a move to play in the Mexican league.
The Frenchman is set to depart Greek side AEK Athens after just one season due to not being in the team's future plans.
Per Fabrizio Romano, the 29-year-old will make the switch to Liga MX side Monterrey after personal terms were agreed upon.
Martial will now fly out to Mexico to complete his medical and finalise the transfer.

The forward had previously been linked with another Mexican side Pumas UNAM, but a potential move there would have required Martial to take a salary cut and he was unwilling to comply.
According to TUDN journalist Diego Armando Medina, Monterrey will pay a fee of around £3.3m to AEK Athens for the ex-United player.
