Nottingham Forest are set to make Morgan Gibbs-White their 16th signing of the summer in a club record deal.
The attacking midfielder has long been a target for the Reds as boss Steve Cooper shaped his squad for the Premier League. And the long-running saga is close to coming to an end.
Forest have agreed a deal with Wolverhampton Wanderers for the 22-year-old, with a medical expected to take place later today.
