Exeter Chiefs’ Argentine international winger Gonzalo Camacho is set to make a summer switch to Aviva Premiership rivals Leicester Tigers.
The 28-year-old Pumas pace ace has been at Chiefs for two years since his 2011 arrival from Harlequins.
Crowd pleaser Camacho – who was born in Beunos Aires - has made 20 appearances for his country and is believed to have agreed a two-year deal with Leicester.
Neither Exeter nor Leicester have officially confirmed Camacho's summer switch.
• Popular Fijian powerhouse midfielder Sireli Naqelevuki has extended his Sandy Park stay at Exeter for another two years.
The 32-year-old back, who joined Chiefs in 2010 from South Africa's Super Stormers, is poised to make his 50th appearance for Chiefs after scoring 13 tries in 49 outings.
