The 26-year-old is ready to depart German side Mainz, according to the Daily Mail.

Niakhate will travel to have his medical, sign a contract, and then go to Spain to link up with Forest during their pre-season preparations.

A deal for Mainz's captain, who is an excellent defender, will cost Forest around £13 million.

Forest have signed forward Taiwo Awoniyi and defender Giulian Biancone, along with England keeper Dean Henderson, this summer.
