Nottingham Forest are expected to complete the signing of attacker Luke Freeman within the next 24 hours.
The Sheffield United winger/midfielder is understood to be having a medical with the Reds today.
And should all go as hoped, he will make the move to the City Ground on a season-long loan deal.

That will make him Forest’s fifth new addition of the summer, and would make it two recruits within the space of a few days, following Fouad Bachirou’s arrival on Wednesday.
Jack Colback, Tyler Blackett and Lyle Taylor had previously agreed terms as head coach Sabri Lamouchi looks to put together a squad capable of challenging for promotion.
The Reds had been interested in Freeman in January, and the 28-year-old will add some creativity and attacking threat to the ranks.
The former Arsenal youngster made the move to Bramall Lane last summer after leaving QPR.
He found regular game time in the top-flight tough to come by, however, making 11 Premier League appearances in the 2019-20 campaign - just three of those coming in the starting XI.
He featured 16 times in total last season, with runouts in the Carabao Cup and FA Cup.
The Blades are among the teams chasing Forest right-back Matty Cash.
It had previously been suggested Freeman could be part of a swap deal, but United’s willingness to allow him to leave on loan means the two are thought now not to be linked.
Although the Premier League outfit may well retain an interest in Cash, Freeman’s impending arrival is not believed to be an indication the Reds ace is about to head to Sheffield.
