Nottingham Forest are signing another midfielder.
Nottingham Forest are set to sign free agent midfielder Claudio Yacob, the Nottingham Post report.
Yacob is a free agent after his contract with West Bromwich Albion expired after six seasons at The Hawthorns.
Forest have added to their squad in a prolific manner since Aitor Karanka took over as manager and Yacob adds to one of the most competitive positions in the team in central midfield.
Former Forest striker David Johnson reacted on a jovial manner to Forest’s impending signing of Yacob.
He posted an image on Twitter of a large bus, suggesting it would be required to carry the entire Forest squad.
Forest do have one of the biggest squads in the Championship and they certainly are not short of midfielders.
Results early on have been disappointing, with Forest winning just one of their opening five games and drawing four.
It is for this reason that Forest are hoping to upgrade, and former Argentina international Claudio Yacob could be a terrific addition.
