DEAN Windass caught the shuttle flight from Aber-deen Airport to London today for a medical and talks at Oxford.
And he feels confident his £450,000 transfer will go through by the weekend to enable him to begin training with Oxford United next Monday.
After undergoing his medical, he will discuss personal terms but doesn't envisage any snags and expects to return south again on Sunday.
"It's a new challenge for me and I don't envisage there being any problems," the 29-year-old midfielder said.
"I realise I have no future at Aberdeen.
"I had intended to going back to England eventually, it's just happened a lot quicker than I expected."
He added: "I've played against some of the Oxford United players in the past and know the manager from my time at Hull.
"Now I'm just eager to get going."
