The 33-year-old recently agreed with Malmö FF to terminate the contract. Now it is clear that the striker is going to Urawa Red Diamonds.
"I am glad to join Urawa Reds, one of Japan's foremost clubs", writes Kiese Thelin in a comment on the club's website.
"I look forward to the day when I get to wear the club jersey and play in front of you all".
The contract will be signed as soon as the medical examination is completed, the club writes.
Midfielder Samuel Gustafson is already playing for Urawa Red Diamonds and the team is currently seventh in the Japanese top division.
