The 24-year-old wing/fullback is currently playing with Lyon in France.
As first reported by Lyon-based publication Le Progrès, Abrahams is set to join the Irish province after being granted a release from the last year of his deal with the Top 14 club.

Rugby 4 Life / YouTube He moved to Lyon last year and while he hasn’t had a dream season with the French club, playing only eight times in the Top 14, Abrahams has impressed in the Champions Cup, scoring five tries in four pool games – including a brace against Connacht in January.
Munster are also bringing in Connacht wing Diarmuid Kilgallen to boost their back three depth this summer, with that addition having already been officially confirmed.
