Nottingham Forest have reportedly "reached an agreement" to sign Stuttgart midfielder Orel Mangala, according to reports.
Having already made 11 additions this summer, the Reds continue to strengthen their squad to maximise their chances of Premier League success next season. According to The Athletic, Mangala is set to be the next one to arrive at the City Ground with a reported fee in the region of £12.75million.
While there is an agreement in place, the deal is yet to be finalised and a medical is set to take place. The 24-year-old, who has two caps for Belgium, made 29 appearances for the Bundesliga side last season as they finished above the relegation zone.
