Doncaster Rovers have confirmed that they have agreed a transfer fee with Leicester City for striker Billy Sharp.
Billy Sharp appears to be heading to Leicester City.The 25-year-old, who has scored ten goals in 18 games for relegation-threatened Rovers this season, is now expected to discuss personal terms with the Foxes.
Last week Rovers turned down an undisclosed bid from an unnamed club for Sharp who reportedly has a £1.85million buy-out clause in his contract.

Sharp is 1213.00 to be the Championship's top scorer this season while Leeds United's Ross McCormack can be backed at 17.00 and Rickie Lambert of Southampton at 1.12.
Doncaster boss Dean Saunders said: "It's up to Billy. It will be a blow if he goes but it's not completely decided. He may decide to stay or someone else may come in for him."
Saunders left Sharp out of his squad for the 2-0 FA Cup third-round defeat by Notts County at the Keepmoat Stadium.
Sharp began his career at Sheffield United but made his name at Scunthorpe United, finding the net 53 times in 82 league appearances for the club.
He returned to Bramall Lane in July 2004 but scored only eight times in 51 appearances for the Blades before moving to Doncaster for £1.1million 18 months ago.
