Newcastle United will reportedly push forward with a loan-move for Sheffield United midfielder Sander Berge after it emerged Jonjo Shelvey will join Nottingham Forest.
Shelvey has signed a two and a half year deal with Forest and follows in the footsteps of striker Chris Wood, who also joined Steve Cooper's side earlier this month on loan.
The decision to let Shelvey, who had six months left on his Toon deal, go leaves Newcastle slightly light in the centre of midfield.
