Premier League new boys Nottingham Forest are closing in on a move for Real Betis defender Alex Moreno.
Forest have enjoyed a busy summer transfer window after securing promotion back to the top-flight for the first time since 1999.
Steve Cooper has already secured big money deals for Neco Williams and Taiwo Awoniyi to bolster his squad alongside a free transfer swoop for England international Jesse Lingard following his release from Manchester United.
Previous reports from The Athletic claimed Forest had reached out to the La Liga side over a possible move, as Cooper wants a fresh option at left back.
According to reports from Daily Telegraph journalist John Percy, a deal has now been wrapped up between both clubs, with an initial £9m fee agreed.
