Nottingham Forest are close to signing Troyes defender Giulian Biancone with the player is set to undergo a medical today (Saturday, July 2).
Nottinghamshire Live understands that the 22-year-old will have a medical ahead of a move to the City Ground in the coming hours. Biancone, who has played primarily as a right-back, but has also featured at centre-back and even left-back during his fledgling career, has enjoyed a meteoric rise over the past two seasons, which could continue with a move to the Premier League.
The AS Monaco academy graduate was handed his debut for the Principality club by then-manager Thierry Henry during the tail end of their Champions League campaign in the autumn of 2018. Five more appearances followed that season, including a goalscoring debut in the now-defunct Coupe de la Ligue against Lorient in a round of 16 tie.
