Nottingham Forest have reportedly come to an agreement with Rennes over a deal for Arnaud Kalimuendo.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claims that Forest have agreed a £27m package with Rennes for the striker, who is now set to head to England to undergo a medical with the Reds.
Kalimuendo's future has been the subject of much speculation in recent weeks, with a number of clubs believed to be interested in signing him during this summer's transfer window.
The 23-year-old has scored 40 goals and registered 14 assists in 112 appearances for his current team.
Last season, the striker scored 18 goals and registered four assists in 34 appearances in all competitions, with 17 of those goals coming in the top flight of French football.
Kalimuendo could potentially make his debut for Forest in the team's second match of the 2025-26 Premier League campaign against Crystal Palace on August 24.

Meanwhile, Crystal Palace are reportedly interested in signing Leicester City attacker Bilal El Khannouss before the end of this summer's transfer window.
The Eagles are expected to lose Eberechi Eze over the next couple of weeks, with Tottenham Hotspur appearing to step up their attempts to sign the forward.
According to transfer expert David Ornstein, Palace view El Khannouss as a potential replacement, although the Premier League club have not yet made an offer for his services.
Ornstein claims that Palace have been in touch with Leicester to register their interest, and the Morocco international is viewed as a potential replacement for Eze.
The 21-year-old has scored three goals and registered seven assists in 38 appearances for Leicester since making the move to the King Power Stadium from Genk in the summer of 2024.
Last season, El Khannouss scored twice and registered three assists in 32 Premier League appearances.

Alvarez agent talks up return to former club
Elsewhere, Edson Alvarez's agent has revealed that the West Ham United midfielder could return to Ajax before this summer's transfer window closes for business.
The Mexico international is expected to leave West Ham in the near future, with the Hammers thought to be willing to sell him for a fee in the region of £30m.
A number of clubs are said to be keeping a close eye on his situation, including Alvarez's former club Ajax, and a return to the Amsterdam club is possible, his agent has confirmed.
"There’s interest, not easy but nothing is impossible," Nathan van Kooperen told ESPN.
The 27-year-old has represented the Hammers on 73 occasions in all competitions since making the move from Ajax in 2023, while he has three years left to run on his contract.
Alvarez was named on the bench for West Ham's opening match of the new Premier League campaign away to Sunderland on Saturday afternoon.
