Nottingham Forest closing deal for Sevilla defender Montiel

Nottingham Forest are closing a deal for Sevilla wing-back Gonzalo Montiel.

Montiel has been made available by Sevilla this summer and has been a target for Fulham and River Plate.

But the Daily Mail says terms have been reached between Forest and Sevilla over a 9m deal for the defender.

Sevilla are happy with price and are ready to sell.

In Spain, Montiel played 72 games for Sevilla, recording 2 goals and 6 assists.
