James Ward-Prowse is set to move on loan to Nottingham Forest from West Ham United.
A straight loan has been agreed in principle that will see the England international, 29, move to the City Ground on a temporary basis after falling down the pecking order at West Ham.
Ward-Prowse is now set to complete a medical ahead of a proposed move to West Ham’s Premier League counterparts.
He has featured for just 16 minutes for new head coach Julen Lopetegui in the Premier League this season, coming on as a substitute in the opening weekend defeat to Aston Villa.
Transfer deadline day live on The Athletic…
Ward-Prowse joined West Ham from Southampton in a £30million transfer last summer.
He went on to make 52 appearances in his first season at the London Stadium, scoring seven goals.
He has 11 caps for England but missed out on selection for Gareth Southgate’s squad for Euro 2024.
West Ham have signed Guido Rodriguez from Real Betis to bolster their midfield with talks also held over a deal for PSG’s Carlos Soler.
Forest have made nine new signings this summer including midfielders Elliot Anderson and Marko Stamenic.
