VfB Stuttgart midfielder Orel Mangala is set to join big spending Premier League new boys Nottingham Forest.

The Belgium international, 24, could become the club's 11th signing of the summer as Steve Cooper looks to bolster their squad ahead of the club's first season in the top flight since 1999.

The Athletic says the clubs have agreed a fee £12.75 and while the deal is not yet completed, Mangala should become the latest player to join Cooper's side this summer.

Last week, Forest completed deals for Jesse Lingard, Lewis O'Brien and Harry Toffolo. Those three joined Brandon Aguilera, Wayne Hennessey, Neco Williams, Omar Richards, Moussa Niakhate, Giulian Biancone and Taiwo Awoniyi as Forest look to ensure they are equipped enough to survive.
