Nottingham Forest are "on the verge" of sealing the shock signing of Newcastle United midfielder Jonjo Shelvey, according to reports.
Steve Cooper is keen to add to his squad in the final couple of days of the transfer window as he looks to lead the Reds further away from the Premier League relegation zone. Forest currently sit in 13th place in the league, four points clear of the bottom three.
It now seems that the Reds will turn to Shelvey to help them in the second half of the season. The Telegraph claim that the club are "on the verge" of completing the signing before Tuesday night’s transfer deadline, with the player "keen" on the switch to the City Ground.
