Preston North End manager Alan Irvine has agreed a deal to bring Aberdeen full-back Michael Hart to Deepdale in the summer.
The 27-year-old is out of contract at Pittodrie at the end of this season but may move to Preston this month if compensation can be agreed with the Dons.
Chairman Derek Shaw told the club's official website: "We made Aberdeen an offer earlier this month which wasn't accepted.
"I understand that Aberdeen have agreed a fee for two of their players with another Championship club. However, Michael has chosen to come to Preston and we're delighted with that.
"Ideally we'd like to agree compensation with Aberdeen in the January transfer window and Michael can start his Preston North End career sooner rather than later.
"However, if that doesn't happen then Michael will be our player in time for pre-season in the 2008-09 campaign."
