Birmingham have accepted an undisclosed offer from Leeds for striker Robbie Blake, reports BBC Radio Leeds.
Leeds had bid £800,000 last week for the 29-year-old, who joined the Blues for £1.25m from Burnley last January.
Elland Road boss Kevin Blackwell said: "He will offer us something different in attack and I am really delighted."
Leeds are hoping that Blake will be able to join the rest of the squad for a two-match tour of Norway, which the club sets off for on Monday.
Birmingham boss Steve Bruce said: "Robbie's done really well for us but his frustration is that he feels he wants to play more.
"Someone like Leeds would give him the opportunity where he would probably play every week."
Blake started his career at Darlington and has also played for Bradford and Nottingham Forest.
Meanwhile, Zimbabwean goalkeeper Energy Murambaradoro, Brazilian striker Catanha, Hungarian international midfielder Zsolt Baranyos, Ivory Coast striker Georges Ba are all on trial at Leeds.
However, Leeds have ended their interest in Northern Ireland international Keith Gillespie.
