Aston Villa, FC Nordsjælland and Okore have come to terms on an agreement.
The defender will travel to Birmingham for a medical later this week.
Very good buy and apparently at a bargain price of around £3M. Good move for the lad too.

He'll be off to a big club in 2-3 years.
Here are some quotes from Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke on Robert Lewandowski: "Lewandowski should now concentrate on the new season playing for us. Next summer he is welcome to join Bayern. All I know is that Lewandowski wants to go to Bayern. Why should I care about other clubs when all he wants is to go to Bayern."
Sky bet suspended bets on Ezequiel Garay .... Manure it is.
Gabriele Marcotti has been on TalkSport claiming that Arsenal are indeed in for Fellaini, saying: "He will give them a physical presence

If he continues to progress and stay well clear of lengthy injuries, I believe you will be proved right.
The club have revealed they are close to a deal for the 22-year-old Dane and expect to complete the transfer by the end of next week.
Villa are hunting more firepower with Darren Bent a target for Newcastle and 6ft 5in Helenius fits the bill.
A Villa statement read: “Aston Villa can confirm that the club are in negotiations with Aalborg BK for the transfer of Danish forward Nicklas Helenius.
"The club expects to conclude the deal, subject to a medical and personal terms, in the next 10 days.
The Danish club must announce the deal on the Stock Exchange, which is why the details are being confirmed now.
And by completing deals early Villa – who are also interested in Danish defender Jores Okore from Nordsjaelland – know they are not going to be held to ransom by clubs later.
Helenius, who came up through Aalborg’s youth ranks, scored 16 goals in the Danish league last season.
He has two caps for Denmark after making his debut against Slovakia last August and was named in the 2012-13 Danish Superliga team of the season.
Helenius will become Villa’s second summer signing after they clinched a £2.5million deal for Aleksandar Tonev from Polish club Lech Poznan last week.
His agent Mads Bach Lund said today: “The overall package looks interesting.”
And then this happened:

United shares drop significantly
The share price of Manchester United suffered a 9% hit in one day, with reports suggesting the club's rumoured interest in Ezequiel Garay is to blame.
United's shares closed at $15.16 on Wednesday - a decrease of $1.53 from just 24 hours earlier.
The British media was aflurry with stories of United reaching an agreement with Benfica for Garay on Wednesday and it is claimed the rumours impacted share activity, with holders preparing for a ￡17 million spend from the English champions.
Financial website Benzigna claimed that "the large cash disbursement for the defender does affect Manchester United's finances, who only reported cash of $113m as of the last filing."
It is believed United's owners, the Glazer family, have a 10% stake of the club listed on the Stock Exchange.
The retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson last month also proved a financial burden, with a 4.5% fall experienced shortly after the Scot's announcement.

Paul Lambert actually inquired on Andreas Cornelius at first but had to look elsewhere because of his price tag that is rumored to be around £8M. Helenius was then his second option.
Helenius is a decent striker, and pretty skilled too despite his stature but he's not Liverpool-standard imo and I doubt he ever will be.

Mertens to Napoli supposedly ... good pick up if true Rafa man.
