Nottingham Forest loanee Loic Bade is set to join Sevilla on loan for the rest of the season.
The 22-year-old has struggled to force his way into contention at the City Ground after arriving on loan from Rennes. Given the lack of regular time for Steve Cooper's side, his parent club were set to recall him in the new year.
Since then, talks were initiated with Sevilla after the club showed interest in securing his services for the remainder of the season. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, he is set to join the La Liga side having arrived in Spain to complete medical tests and sign his contract which holds an option to buy clause.

Speaking about Bade's situation at Forest, Cooper previously said: "We haven’t got a bigger squad than normal in the Premier League, you can only name 25 in your squad anyway. So there is obviously going to be a line that some people don’t quite get over, to get in the team.
"Loic hasn’t featured yet. But he’s training very well, he’s settling in, his English is getting much better, he has a good attitude towards training and good self-belief. It’s one of those things where you just have to work hard and wait for your time. When that is, that will be down to a number of factors.
"Loic isn’t the only one who you could ask that question about. There’s a story on loads of people at the moment, about them being in the team, out the team, not playing yet, continuing to play."
