Stoke City are moving for Manchester City defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis.
Harwood-Bellis is currently on-loan with Anderlecht.
He had a bright start to life in Belgium, establishing himself as a first-choice starter under Kompany, who had personally requested the loan in the summer, and alongside former Southampton centre back Wesley Hoedt.
But after a trip to Georgia to play for England under-21s in November, when the plane was unavoidably delayed for 24 hours in Istanbul after a technical problem, Harwood-Bellis lost his place to on-loan Argentine defender Lisandro Magallan, and has played just 12 minutes since.
Stoke are believed to be the strongest contenders to pick up the Stockport-born stopper, as they seek to strengthen their challenge for a play-off place, but no final decision has been taken on what happens next, says the Manchester Evening News.
