Derrick Williams is set to leave Blackburn Rovers and join MLS side LA Galaxy.
The Lancashire Telegraph reports that the 28-year-old is in Los Angeles and is close to signing a deal.
Williams, whose father is American, was last year linked with a move to DC United.
Due to a quad injury, which required surgery, Williams hasn't played since mid-December. He will miss Ireland's upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
