Nottingham Forest's move for Cyprus defender Nicholas Ioannou is now a done deal, claim reports in his homeland.
The 24-year-old APOEL full-back, formerly of Manchester United, is said to have been subject to interest from the Reds all summer.
Sky Sports reported on Thursday night that Sabri Lamouchi's side had made an approach for Ioannou's services, believed to be in the region of £750,000.
And reports in Cyprus are now claiming that the bid has been accepted.
The 6ft defender is currently away on international duty with his nation in action in the Nations League this weekend - but it is claimed that he will not return to Cyprus, instead jetting to England to discuss personal terms with recruitment chiefs at the City Ground.
Ioannou was spotted by Manchester United at a football camp in Cyprus and played alongside the likes of Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay, going on to become the reserve team captain at Old Trafford.
He left the Red Devils, however, when David Moyes was appointed Sir Alex Ferguson's successor, owing to a hip problem which played a big part in him not securing a professional contract.
Since then he has gone on the make 90 appearances for APOEL with many coming in the Europa League and Champions League.
He has 19 caps for his country.
