Aston Villa are set to sign former Arsenal winger Robert Pires later this week, according to the club's website.
Villa's assistant boss Gary McAllister confirmed: "I believe he's going to join us in the next two to three days."
His arrival at Villa Park will be a boost for manager Gerard Houllier's squad which has been depleted by injuries to the likes of John Carew, Emile Heskey, Stiliyan Petrov, Nigel Reo-Coker and Steve Sidwell this month.
McAllister added: "I know the [Villa] boss [Houllier] and Arsene Wenger are very friendly.
"It's perfect. I am sure he will arrive at the training ground in good condition. He's a player everyone can look up to because of what he has achieved."
