Nottingham Forest are stepping up negotiations with Feyenoord this Monday to finalise the signing of Dutch U21 defender Givairo Read.
The 20-year-old wing-back has emerged as Oliver Glasner primary target to complete the club defensive restructuring before their Premier League curtain raiser against Leeds United at the City Ground this weekend.
Feyenoord have set an asking price in the region of €25million for the youngster, who registered strong attacking and defensive numbers in the Eredivisie last season.
Negotiations are progressing positively between the two clubs after Read expressed excitement regarding a potential move to English football.
Forest are eager to conclude personal terms and schedule a physical in Nottingham over the coming 48 hours to ensure the defender is registered in time for the opening round of Premier League fixtures.
