Nottingham Forest’s reported interest in McAtee comes amid the Man City academy graduate’s ability to play as a No.8 and/or No.10, which can bolster their midfield, especially after they parted ways with Danilo and Lewis O’Brien this summer.

Nottingham Forest have a agreed a deal with Manchester City to sign James McAtee, sources have told ESPN. The 22-year-old is set to move to the City Ground for a deal worth up to £30 million ($40.1m). City have also included a sell-on clause and buy-back option in the agreement.

Drew: I'll be breathing a sigh of relief if we manage to get these deals done. With Elanga gone, we desperately need another dynamic attacking-minded winger and Hutchinson fits the bill perfectly. McAtee is also an excellent young talent with an eye for goal. Suddenly the season doesn't look like a write-off anymore!
