Nottingham Forest are reportedly close to securing a £5million deal for Bournemouth striker Lewis Grabban.
Bournemouth will allow the English striker to depart this summer and he looks likely to drop back down into the Championship at the City Ground.
It is reported that talks between Forest and the Cherries have progressed, meaning that the 30-year-old is set to be unveiled as a Reds player this week.

Grabban has just one year remaining on his deal with Bournemouth and they are opting to cash in on him for around £5million.
Forest appear to be showing no signs of slowing down this summer in the transfer window and are on the verge of adding a proven goalscorer to their ranks.
Manager Aitor Karanka looks likely to be welcoming Grabban to his squad in the coming days and he scored a combined total of 20 Championship goals last season during loan spells at Sunderland and Aston Villa.
Forest are hoping they are in the mix for promotion next season and are entering their 10th consecutive year in England’s second-tier.
Grabban has proven he can be prolific attacker at Championship level, netting 58 times in 140 appearances, and Forest fans hope he can continue that kind of form for them next season.
