Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper has revealed deals to sign Nuno Tavares and Murillo 'are at the final stages'.
Forest have been reported to be close to signing left back Tavares on a season-long loan from Arsenal and have agreed a fee of around £15million for the permanent signing of defender Murillo, 21, from Brazilian club Corinthians.
Cooper, whose side play at Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday, said: 'I do believe there's a couple of players, Tavares and Murillo, that are at the final stages. Not quite done, but the process is ticking along quite nicely.
