"The Argentina international will have a medical on Thursday before signing on as a new red and whites player until June 30," Atletico said on their website.

An attacking midfielder with a powerful shot, Sosa, 28, moved to Metalist from Serie A side Napoli in 2011 and also had a stint at Bayern Munich.

He will give Atletico coach and compatriot Diego Simeone an extra option in the centre as they seek to maintain their impressive start to the season on three fronts.
