The 25-year-old from the club Barcelona of Guayaquil in Ecuador is said to have scored has scored 23 goals in 57 appearances for the club and has made seven appearances for his national team.
However his wikipedia entry claims he only joined the side in January this year.
Zura is set for a one year marquee deal, pending FFA approval, and will train tomorrow with the Jets.
Jets CEO John Tsatsimas told au.fourfourtwo.com that he is "confident" the FFA will sign off on the player's marquee status.
"He's a goalscorer and very exciting," added Tsatsimas.
Although not seen live by coach Gary Van Egmond, the club is confident Zura can fit the bill.
Full name
Edmundo Salomon ZURA Jesus, the striker is 1.82m and looms as an exciting player alongside Song and Joel Griffiths.

Newcastle Jets Media Conference Marquee Player Announcement
The Newcastle Jets will host a media conference on Friday, 1 August 2008 at 1:30pm (AEST) to unveil the clubs latest prospective signing, Ecuadorian International striker Edmundo Salomon Zura de Jesus. Known simply as Edmundo Zura, the 24-year-old striker will undergo a standard medical assessment in Newcastle next Monday and, subject to the success of this process, will sign to become the Newcastle Jets Marquee player for the 2008/09 Hyundai A-League Season.
Capped 7 times at National Team level by Ecuador, Edmundo Zuras first selection for the National Team was in October 2006 in a Friendly against South American powerhouse Brazil. However it was the 2007 Pan-American Games that would boost Zuras profile and announce him as a big game player on the world stage as he captained the team and scored three goals en-route to Ecuadors only football title in the nations history.
In January of this year, the talented marksman moved from Sporting Club Imbabura and signed a 1-year deal with Ecuadors most popular club, Barcelona Sporting Club of Guayaquil. He is now poised to join the reigning Hyundai A-League Champions.
All media are invited to attend this media conference for a first hand glimpse of Edmundo Zura.

Joel: Time Is Ticking - 442
EXCLUSIVE: Joel Griffiths wants his Newcastle Jets future sorted now and warns he isnt prepared to let the issue drag on long into the A-League season.
The Johnny Warren Medal winner insists that Newcastle is where he wants to be but admits hed be lying if he said there was no other interest in him.
The striker points to the experience of a former teammate and says he is anxious to avoid going through the same scenario.
Griffiths told au.fourfourtwo.com: I want my future to be sorted sooner rather than later. Its not something I want to see drag on and still have it hanging over my head later into the season.
Newcastle is where I want to be and I suppose the club has first refusal. But I dont want a situation like Bridgey (Mark Bridge) last season. That took a long time to be sorted and I think it affected him.
I want my head to be clear during the season, with my future sorted and I can just concentrate on my football.
I think the balls in the clubs court. Now its time for some serve and volley.
As well as the issue of a new contract, Griffiths is also focusing on trying to battle back to full fitness. A nagging ankle injury that he picked up during his spell in Japan is still troubling him.
He said: Ive had a cortisone injection but I wouldnt say it (the ankle) is great.
Hopefully it will begin to settle down. At the moment Id say Im about 70 per cent and I want to make sure Im 100 per cent for the start of the new season.
Its very frustrating but you have to make sure you dont do too much before youre ready to. The last thing I want to do is put myself in a situation where Im back to square one.
Contract and ankle issues aside, Griffiths is optimistic about the season ahead and happy with the new faces at the club.
He said: We know people are going to be looking to knock us over but when you look at it weve still got the nucleus of the side won it (the A-League) last year.
Theres some new faces as well and everyones looking forward to getting started. To achieve something in football is hard, to back it up is even harder and thats what we have to do.
