Nottingham Forest are set for talks over a £9m fee for Remo Freuler

Nottingham Forest are to hold further talks with Atalanta on Thursday over a proposed fee for midfielder Remo Freuler.

The 30-year-old, who has been described as 'the conductor of the orchestra' at Atalanta has been a key player for the Serie A side making over 200 appearances since joining from Luzern in 2016. 

However, Freuler is ready for the new challenge of playing in the Premier League under Steve Cooper.

Talks have been ongoing for a number of weeks with the deal being on and off as negotiations sway over the proposed £9million fee.

Freuler is willing to make the move but the details have still to be agreed and today will be crucial to the negotiations.

Forest are signing free agent Cheikh Kouyate but remain open to adding a number of new additions.

They have rekindled interest in Emmanuel Dennis at Watford and retain an interest in signing Wolves' Morgan Gibbs-White.

They are pushing to sign a left-back too but have competition from Brighton for Villarreal left-back Pervis Estupinan.
