Frédéric Guilbert has been restricted to two appearances for Aston Villa this season and both of them came in the EFL Cup.
His last outing for the English club came in their 1-0 defeat to Stoke City in the first few weeks of this campaign.
Having been forced to settle for a place on the bench in the Premier League, the right-back could change clubs before the window closes on Monday.
On January 29th, L’Equipe explained Lorient monitored Dean Smith’s man, but a potential move looks less likely after they decided to prioritise strengthening the centre-back position.
According to France Football, Strasbourg ‘will welcome’ the fullback on loan in the ‘coming hours’.
The Ligue 1 side’s right-back, Kenny Lala, is set to travel on Saturday to seal a move to Olympiacos, and Guilbert will replace Lala at the club.
Aston Villa and Strasbourg negotiated for a loan deal until the end of this season, and the English club’s player is set to arrive in the French city on Saturday to undergo medical tests.
A temporary move to Strasbourg will help Guilbert improve his chances of featuring regularly in the second half of this campaign.
