Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper has confirmed midfielder Jonjo Shelvey is undergoing a medical, with a view to completing a move from Newcastle United.
If all goes as planned, the 30-year-old will become the Reds’ fourth signing of the January window. Gustavo Scarpa, Danilo and Magpies loanee Chris Wood have already been added to the squad.
Shelvey is unlikely to be the last new arrival at the City Ground before Tuesday night’s 11pm deadline. Forest are also targeting a goalkeeper to cover for the injured Dean Henderson and a centre-back, while further attacking reinforcements are also possible, along with some outgoings.
