Strasbourg goalkeeper Matz Sels has boarded a flight as he closes in on completing a £5.5million move to Nottingham Forest.

The 31-year-old is due to undergo a medical later this afternoon.

Sels has been an ever present for Strasbourg this season, with the Belgian having been appointed as club captain in the summer.

Nuno Espirito Santo has been desperate to add a new keeper ahead of the transfer deadline.

Goalkeepers Matt Turner and Odysseas Vlachodimos have continued to stuggle for Forest, despite signing for the club only last summer. 

Forest had been exploring a number of options including a £15m deal for Crystal Palace’s Sam Johnstone and a deal for Real Betis stopper Rui Silva.

Johnstone is now looking likely to stay at Crystal Palace after his move to Forest fell through. 

He was keen to move in order to preserve his Euro 2024 chances with England but Forest are now set to sign Sels.
