"We have reached an agreement, which, I hope will be accepted by all parties today," Tusk told journalists as he arrived for the talks.
He added that any deal with Turkey would not be enough to tackle Europe's migration crisis if the bloc does not firmly control its external borders.
Fueled by the Syrian war, some 850,000 people have entered the EU this year in what has become Europe's worst refugee crisis since World War II.
Officials said the EU is expected to agree a multibillion-dollar aid package for Turkey to help it improve life for the 2.3 million Syrians now living in Turkey, to make their journey to Europe more difficult, and to keep out more of the migrants who cross Turkey on their way to Europe.
Davutoglu is also set to win a deal for the opening in December of a new chapter in Turkey's stalled accession talks for the bloc.
