St Johnstone have agreed a deal to sign Brighton defender Lars Dendoncker on loan to replace captain Jason Kerr.
With Kerr heading to Wigan Athletic for a fee of £600,000, Saints have had to find deadline day central defensive cover.
Dendoncker, brother of Wolves star Leander, was recruited by the English Premier League club from Brugge a year ago.

The 20-year-old, who can also play in midfield, has represented Belgium from under-15 through to under-19 level.
He has been playing under-23 football with Brighton and will now hope to make the step-up into Callum Davidson’s Saints first team.
