The Times: Nottingham Forest close to signing Nketia for £30 million(YAJING)

Nottingham Forest are close to signing Arsenal striker Nketia for a fee of around £30 million, according to The Times.

The deal is reportedly close, with both teams currently negotiating the final details, with Nottingham Forest manager Nuno hoping to complete the deal before the summer window closes (by 6:00 GMT on September 2).

Nottingham Forest have previously made an offer totalling £25m including variable bonuses, but Arsenal have rejected it, and an improved offer of £30m could meet Arsenal's demands. Nketia is currently negotiating personal terms.
