Ivory Coast international Ibrahim Sangare is the latest African set for a move to the Premier League, with Nottingham Forest close to agreeing a deal with PSV Eindhoven to bring the midfielder to the City Ground.
The 25-year-old, who has spent the last three seasons at the Philips Stadium, is close to a €37 million move to the Garibaldi that would see him become their ninth signing of the summer window.

Sangare, a ball-playing yet combative midfielder, will become the third Ivorian player in the Forest team alongside compatriots Willy Boly and Serge Aurier.
The Koumassi-born footballer joined PSV from French side Toulouse in 2020 and has since scored 15 goals and provided 10 assists in 140 matches for PSV, helping them win the KNVB Cup twice and the Johan Cryuff Shield on three occasions.
Sangare made his Ivory Coast national team debut in 2015, and he has netted nine goals in 31 matches for the Elephants and has represented them at two Africa Cup of Nations tournaments.
