Nottingham Forest are poised to clinch the signing of Moussa Niakhate from Mainz as they work on deals for Neco Williams and Omar Richards.
Niakhate's signing was due to be announced on Wednesday for £13million, with the defender becoming Forest's fourth summer signing - with the fifth and sixth set to follow in the coming days.
Liverpool full-back Williams, a regular in the Wales team, has been a target for Forest since the beginning of the transfer window while the club are in talks with Bayern Munich for Richards, with a deal worth about £10m being discussed.
