Nottingham Forest are close to signing striker Neal Maupay from Brighton on a four-year deal.

Forest have offered around £10million with a further £5m in add-ons for the 25-year-old. Brighton left him out of yesterday’s home draw with Newcastle.

The move for Maupay follows the proposed triple signing of Watford striker Emmanuel Dennis, Atalanta midfielder Remo Freuler and free agent Cheikhou Kouyate.
