Bayern Munich full-back Omar Richards is poised to sign for Nottingham Forest as Steve Cooper continues his summer recruitment drive.
The former Reading defender is expected to sign for Forest after a deal worth £8.5million was agreed on between the Reds and German giants Munich. Meanwhile, Forest are also closing in on a move for £17million-rated Wales right-back Neco Williams from Liverpool.
Forest been one of the busier Premier League clubs in the summer window, having recruited four players for a combined £36million. Taiwo Awoniyi was first through the door, and was swiftly followed by Giulian Biancone, Moussa Niakhate and the loan signing of Dean Henderson from Manchester United.
