The 20-year-old centre-back has travelled to the Black Country for a medical and is poised to become Baggies boss Darren Moore’s sixth signing of the summer.

Adarabioyo is highly-rated at the Premier League club, where he signed a lucrative four-year deal last summer.

But a lack of first-team opportunities saw him limited to just four appearances last summer and City boss Pep Guardiola has taken the decision to allow him out on loan.

Albion are now working to complete the deal in time for Adarabioyo to be involved in Saturday’s Championship opener against Bolton.

Moore has already added to his central defensive with the signing of Kyle Bartley from Swansea, though doubts remain over the future of Craig Dawson, who has handed in a transfer request.
