Paperwork has been lodged for Carlton to acquire Sydney restricted free agent George Hewett, with a decision from the Swans now pending.

Sydney will have to decide whether to match the Blues' offer, with a deadline now set in three days time for 4pm on Monday, October 4.

Hewett is reportedly set to be on the end of a four-year offer from the Blues, falling close to $450,000 per season.

The 25-year-old has played 120 games in the red and white since making his debut in 2016, playing across multiple lines under senior coach John Longmire.

Hewett is likely to fall to the Blues despite the Swans' rights to match the offer, joining a promising engine room at Ikon Park.

The Blues are also tipped to land departing Docker Adam Cerra, with Fremantle likely to command multiple draft selections in return for the promising midfielder.
