Caen defender Thomas Heurtaux is set to snub a move to the Premier League after deciding to join Udinese, according to reports.
The 23-year-old was a reported target for West Bromwich Albion and Norwich City after impressing last season in Ligue 1.
However, both clubs now look likely to miss out after the Serie A outfit agreed a £2m fee with Caen.
According to talkSPORT, the Frenchman will now have a medical before signing a four-year deal at the Stadio Friuli.
