Villa have accepted a fee in the region of £2-£3 million including add-ons, similar to the offer Hull City had agreed with the Villans just a few days ago.
Davis, who has played 86 times and scored six goals for Villa at senior level since graduating from the academy, makes his first permanent move after two Championship loan spells.
First at Nottingham Forest and then Watford, the former England U20 international has scored 12 goals in the English second tier throughout the past two seasons.
