Nottingham Forest look set to complete the signing of midfielder Braian Ojeda from Paraguayan side Olimpia.
Over the weekend, reports in Ojeda's native Paraguay claimed he is set to sign a four-year contract with Forest ahead of the summer transfer deadline with the window closing at 11pm on Tuesday (August 31).
Closer to home, The Athletic have today reported the 21-year-old will join on a permanent deal.
Ojeda is a central midfielder who appeared 22 times for Olimpia last season including nine outings in the Copa Libertadores, the South American equivalent of the Champions League.
He has also spent time on loan at Argentinian side Defensa and is capable of playing as a holding midfielder or in a more box to box role.
His arrival would certainly fit Forest's revised transfer policy of looking to add promising younger talent, although Ojeda is untested outside South America.
Forest brought James Garner back on loan from Manchester United and also have Ryan Yates, Cafu, Jack Colback, Tyrese Fornah and Harry Arter who can play in that position, although Arter could join Charlton on loan.
Garner and Yates were Chris Hughton's starting midfield for Forest in a 4-2-3-1 formation in the 1-1 East Midlands Derby draw with Derby County at Pride Park on Saturday.
Former Derby full-back Max Lowe became Forest's fifth summer signing on Friday when he signed on loan from Sheffield United.
The Reds could still bring in players before Tuesday's deadline as Hughton looks to build on the club's first point of the season at Derby.
Forest had lost their opening four matches with the pressure mounting on Hughton.
