striker Ross McCormack has agreed a loan move to A-League side Melbourne City, subject to a medical.
The 31-year-old joined Villa from Fulham for around £12million in the summer of 2016 but scored just three times in 24 appearances.
He spent the second half of last season on loan at Nottingham Forest following a falling out with Villa boss Steve Bruce.
Melbourne City head coach Warren Joyce told his club's official website: "Having seen Ross' performances, we believe he can provide an avenue and a strong attacking option for us.
