Nottingham Forest transfer target set to complete move to Millwall with medical booked

Millwall have reportedly nearly completed the signing of Nottingham Forest transfer target Zian Flemming.

The 23-year-old attacking midfielder has been linked with moves to the City Ground in the past two transfer windows, but no move has materialised despite a series of bids being lodged by Forest and the player himself indicating a desire to join the Reds.

Flemming was also a target for Millwall during that time - they also had a bid rejected - but this summer their pursuit for the Fortuna Sittard man has proven more successful.

According to John Percy of The Telegraph, the young Dutchman is booked in for a medical with the Championship outfit ahead of completing a club record £2m deal.

Whilst Flemming was almost certainly a target for Forest last season, the Reds' promotion to the top-flight means they will now be searching in a different tier of the market.

Speaking to Dutch sports outlet Voetball International back in January, Flemming revealed: "The Championship is a good step for me, it was the same with Nottingham Forest last summer.

"Then, I honestly indicated that I wanted to go there. Millwall is also a nice option, but you know how it went last summer. My opinion, doesn't really matter."

Flemming scored 12 goals and contributed four assists for the Dutch outfit, including a strike with 12 minutes left against NEC Nijmegen on the final day of the season to secure their Eredivisie status.
