Wycombe Wanderers are expected to sign Feyenoord goalkeeper Mikki van Sas.
The 21-year-old, who spent three years at Manchester City between 2020 and 2023, is set to replace Will Norris as the Chairboys' number one for the upcoming 2025/26 season.

The Adams Park side had hopes to secure the services of Reading shot-stopper Joel Pereira, but those plans were thwarted after he signed a contract extension with the Berkshire-based team.
For Wanderers, van Sas' pending arrival will mean he will become Wycombe's sixth first-choice keeper since 2020.
Ryan Allsop was the undisputed number one between 2018 and 2021 before he was dropped for David Stockdale, who played 63 consecutive league games for Wycombe.
His departure in 2022 saw Max Stryjek join, but after some erratic displays in 2023/24, he was displaced by Franco Ravizzoli.
The Argentine was virtually ever-present (excluding two games) in the league for roughly 12 months when Will Norris joined on a free transfer from Portsmouth in February and displaced the South American.

And despite keeping 10 clean sheets in 19 matches at the back end of last season, his displays were not as convincing as hoped, with high-profile errors coming in defeats against Birmingham City and Charlton Athletic, respectively.
This has led the club to look into the market, with van Sas poised to sign.
It is also expected that with fellow keepers Shamal George and Lauri Shala still on the books at HP12, Norris will leave Wanderers this summer.
Ravizzoli will also depart the South Buckinghamshire side once his contract expires on June 30.
For van Sas, the Dutchman spent last year on loan at Vitesse.

He has also played for the national team's U15s, 16s and 18s and U19s, but he has yet to make his professional debut for the first team.
He has also not featured for Feyenoord's men's team following his arrival in 2023.
