Brighton & Hove Albion are set to sign Swindon Town defender Gordon Greer for an undisclosed fee after the Robins captain agreed a three-year deal.The Seagulls had a bid for Greer turned down last month but at the time Danny Wilson admitted he could leave if the Seagulls offered enough money.
The 29-year-old Scot is due to have a medical on Monday.
Greer signed for Swindon from Doncaster last summer after a successful loan period in the previous season.
He made 52 appearances for the Robins during the last campaign but missed the play-off final defeat by Millwall at Wembley because of suspension.
Everyone knows we are looking for an experienced centre-half and Gordon is the type of player we wanted
Brighton boss Gus Poyet
The red card he was shown in the play-off semi-final at Charlton means Greer would be unavailable for Brighton when they play Swindon on the first day of the season at the County Ground.
Swindon chairman Andrew Fitton told BBC Wiltshire: "I understand why he might think the move is a good decision.
"Gordon was a great acquisition for the club, he's a good guy who showed leadership when leadership was required.
"Every player has his price and when that price is met, and if the player expresses an interest that he wants to go, then in this world there is no loyalty. You have to let him go."
Been reading more about him and he sounds a great signing, exactly what we needed in terms of experience

Brighton manager Gus Poyet told the club's official website: "Everyone knows we are looking for an experienced centre-half and Gordon is the type of player we wanted.
"He is an experienced defender and had a very good season with Swindon helping them reach the play-offs."
Greer started his career at Clyde before moving to Blackburn for one season in 2001.
He only made two appearances before moving to Stockport but was again limited to just a handful of games.
Three seasons with Kilmarnock in the SPL followed before Greer signed for Doncaster but made just 10 league starts in two years.
Swindon then took him on loan in January 2009 and made the move permanent that summer.
