Leicester City defender Liam Moore is set to join Brentford on loan until the end of the season.
The 20-year-old has made 14 appearances for City this season but has not played since their 1-0 win over Burnley in December.
Manager Nigel Pearson has confirmed that the youngster will be joining the League One side.
"He will be going out on loan – I think he needs some games," said Pearson.
"We have got a fully-fit squad at the moment so I think that will be good for him."
The loan deal comes as central defenders Zak Whitbread and Sean St Ledger both return from long-term injuries. The pair are both back in full training and St Ledger was a substitute in last night's defeat against Charlton.
