Nottingham Forest have agreed a deal to sign Wolves midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White, according to reports.
The 22-year-old has been a summer-long target of head coach Steve Cooper, having managed the former Sheffield United loanee during his time in charge of Swansea City and England under-17s.
According to the Telegraph's John Percy and The Athletic's David Ornstein, Forest have agreed a fee of £35m for Gibbs-White, rising to £44.5m with add-ons. The midfielder is apparently set to undergo a medical at Forest this afternoon (Thursday).

Wolves rejected an offer from Forest earlier this month for £25m with £10m in add-ons, but an increased deal has now been agreed.
It has previously been said that Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis "took personal charge" of the move to sign Gibbs-White. Marinakis is close to agent Jorge Mendes, who also has a strong working relationship with Wolves.
Gibbs-White was on the losing end of the play-off semi-final against Forest last season and now moves to the City Ground after an impressive pre-season in the Black Country.
