Cardiff City have announced the signing of striker Marcus Bent from Championship rivals Charlton, subject to a medical.
The 30-year-old striker, who spent last season on loan in the Premier League with Wigan Athletic, is poised to sign for an undisclosed fee.
Bent will undergo a medical on Monday and then join up with the Cardiff squad as they head for pre-season training in Portugal.
A statement on the club's official website said: "We can officially confirm that we have agreed a transfer fee with Charlton Athletic.
"Marcus Bent has agreed personal terms and has signed for the Bluebirds pending a medical on Monday."

Marcus Bent's move from Charlton to Cardiff City is off after the striker requested to talk to Birmingham about a move to St Andrews.
Cardiff had agreed a fee with Charlton for the well travelled front man and had also concurred on personal terms with the player ahead of a scheduled medical on Monday.
However, having got wind of interest in his services from Birmingham, Bent has had a change of heart as he considers a future away from the capital.
No deal
Cardiff, upon hearing news of Bent's U-turn, have withdrawn their offer and the deal is now dead.
A club statement read: "Shortly before Marcus Bent was due to arrive for his medical and complete his move to Cardiff City, we were informed that he had changed his mind and asked Charlton permission to speak to Birmingham.
"Whilst at this stage we are unaware of whether he has been given permission to talk to Birmingham City, we only want players who are committed to Cardiff City Football Club and therefore have withdrawn from the deal."

Sweet, I'd much rather he went to Birmingham (who will get promoted anyway), than to Cardiff and boost their chances of a promotion push. Not that we'll be likely to challenge at that end of the table.  ;D |
