Nottingham Forest are closing on a £16million deal to sign Neco Williams as a long-term replacement to Djed Spence.
Newly-promoted Forest, who are returning to the Premier League this season after a 23-year absence, have had a bid accepted by the Reds after negotiations on Wednesday as they seek a replacement for Spence, who shone on loan from Middlesbrough last season.
One of Forest boss Steve Cooper's transfer priorities this summer has been signing a new right wing-back to replace Spence, who looks set to move to Tottenham. The England Under-21s international flourished at the City Ground in 2021-22 and while Forest had hoped to re-sign Spence this summer, he has duly attracted interest from sides higher up the Premier League foodchain.
