Nottingham Forest Closing On West Ham Target As Star Flying To England | OneFootball

Nottingham Forest are closing in on West Ham United target Jota Silva as he is flying to England to join the Tricky Trees, according to Sky Sports News.

The Portuguese winger has been at the centre of transfer speculation this summer with an expectation he would move on from Vitoria Guimaraes.

West Ham have been heavily linked with Silva as they look for extra options in the final third and they were even claimed to be leading the race.

Nottingham Forest though have appeared from nowhere and are poised to sign the 24-year-old.

He is now flying to England as Forest look to put him through his medical paces and finalise the deal.

Nottingham Forest will pay an initial €7m for Silva, with a further €5m in add-ons dependent upon how he performs at the City Ground and how many appearances he makes.

Silva found the back of the net on 15 occasions for Vitoria over the course of last season.

Nottingham Forest will be hoping the Portuguese can hit the ground running under countryman Nuno next season.
