Already having a storming start to the transfer window, Nottingham Forest continue their spending with the addition of a centre-back.
His name is Moussa Niakhaté, who will arrive from 1.FSV Mainz 05 in the Bundesliga, with the transfer just around the corner.
When we last left this story, it was said the defender had verbally agreed a move to Nottingham Forest, with a medical reportedly planned in the next 48 hours.
Well, that could happen sooner rather than later, because RMC Sport’s Loïc Tanzi is reporting the player is ‘on the plane taking him to Nottingham’.

Not only that, but the signing of his Nottingham Forest contract is expected ‘this afternoon’, meaning we could have something official by the end of the day.
While the next season is expected to be a tough one at City Ground, few can argue the newly promoted club aren’t trying their best to build a competitive squad to stay up.
