Nottingham Forest are reportedly on the verge of completing the signing of Mainz defender Moussa Niakhate.
Steve Cooper has been chasing the 26 year-old for some time as he looks to bolster his defence ahead of the Reds' return to the Premier League. And a move worth £10 million, plus £5m in add-ons, is close to being completed according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Now, fresh reports from German media outlet BILD claim that the centre-back has 'verbally agreed' to become Forest's fourth signing of the summer. The report suggest that Niakhate has signed his contract at the City Ground and the deal will be completed in the next 48 hours.
