Nottingham Forest look set to complete a move to bring in Licá from Porto this transfer deadline day.
It is reported by Zero Zero in Portugal that the winger is all set for a move to Forest this afternoon, as a potential replacement for Oliver Burke.
The 27-year-old, who has one cap for the Portugal national team, spent last season on loan at Vitoria Guimares after failing to settle at Porto following his move from Estoril in 2013.

The report claims that Lica has reached an agreement with Forest and is undergoing a medical at the club today – ahead of completing his move to the City Ground.
The move will be welcomed by Forest fans, whilst it will not placate fans still upset at the sale of Burke to German side RB Leipzig.
But Lica is a very talented individual who should hopefully light up the Championship for Philippe Montanier’s side.
Forest will be hoping that he can have a similar impact at the club to the one fellow Portugal international Nelson Oliveira did last season.
