James Ward-Prowse looks set to be the big Nottingham Forest signing of the transfer window as he joins from West Ham.
The free-kick specialist will join on a season-long loan just 12 months after signing for the Hammers in a deal worth £30 million.
Last season, Ward-Prowse scored seven goals and claimed 11 assists with his delivery from set pieces often a joy to behold.
Ahead of the transfer deadline, Forest are simply awaiting an announcement with his medical now seemingly completed on Trentside.

Now, he’s going to sign for Forest and provide some cover for Danilo who is likely to be out injured until the New Year.
Ward-Prowse is a somewhat exciting signing and the player looks set to be announced on Trentside any time.
Forest must play to the strengths of Ward-Prowse
Where Ward-Prowse plays is going to be a mystery. He typically operates in central midfield but Forest do have a number of options in those areas.
There is a sense that the player might be able to play in a more advanced role and it’s certainly a nice headache for Forest to have
