Nottingham Forest are close to completing the signing of Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi.

Steve Cooper's side are in discussions with the Belgian's representatives as they look to get a deal over the line before the transfer deadline on Thursday night.

The 28-year-old could become Forest's 21st signing of the summer, with Willy Boly joining earlier today and Blackpool's Josh Bowler also expected to sign.

Turkish side Fenerbahce are also interested in the Belgian's services but Forest are confident in getting a deal over the line.

Batshuayi joined Chelsea from Marseille in 2016 before going on to score 25 goals in 77 appearances for the Blues, but quickly fell out of favour in west London.
