Nottingham Forest are set to miss out on James Garner after reports that he is "close" to joining Premier League rivals Everton.
The midfielder has been the subject of speculation this summer after playing a starring role in the Reds' promotion from the Championship last season. Garner contributed to four goals and eight assists at the City Ground to help Forest return to the Premier League.
Reports over the summer had linked the 21 year-old with a move back to the East Midlands, but that has not happened. Forest are now set to miss out on the United man.
