Formula One's world champion Jenson Button has agreed terms on a three-year deal with McLaren and could sign a contract within days, according to Britain's Guardian newspaper.

The paper's long-standing Formula One reporter Alan Henry, who has close connections with McLaren, said the deal would be worth 13 million dollars.

If the deal goes through, Button would join Lewis Hamilton in all-British line-up of champions at the Mercedes-powered team.

Button was given a guided tour of the McLaren factory last Friday.
