According to Sky Germany, TSG Hoffenheim's Hennes Behrens is edging closer to joining 1.FC Heidenheim in January.
The highly-rated left-back will reportedly join on loan without an option to buy, according to the pay-TV broadcaster.
He is expected to return to Sinsheim in the summer when the current season ends after gaining Bundesliga experience at Heidenheim.
Leart Pacarada was supposed to fill a gap in Heidenheim's squad at left-back until the 1.FC Köln loanee suffered a cruciate ligament tear.
Behrens has played twice for Hoffenheim's first team last season. Otherwise, he has played exclusively for the reserve team in the 3.Liga.
Unfortunately for the 20-year-old, a torn muscle fibre sustained in September completed nullified his chances of playing in Ilzer's team.
