Schalke have confirmed that they have agreed to sign Greek midfielder Vassilios Pliatsikas from AEK Athens subject to a medical examination.
With key midfielder Jermaine Jones set to miss around three months with a shin injury, the Gelsenkirchen club were keen to bring in some cover and new trainer Felix Magath opted for the 21-year-old Greek.
"He is a very talented player," Felix Magath told the club's official website.
"His strengths are his tackling ability. I have also spoken with [Greece coach] Otto Rehhagel, among others, about Pliatsikas and he values him."
Pliatsikas has been capped just one by Greece, but is experienced in the Greek Super League, despite his young age, having notched up 51 appearances for AEK.
He was also a member of the Greek U-19 squad which finished runners-up at the 2007 European Championships.
