Nottingham Forest are expecting to sign John Bostock on loan from Toulouse today, according to French outlet RMC, as quoted by Nottinghamshire Live.
The central midfielder is expected to have flown in last night ahead of penning terms on a deal to sign for the Reds on loan for the season, as per the report.
Bostock is a former Crystal Palace and Tottenham performer who has spent six years playing in Europe. He has featured for clubs in Belgium, France and Turkey but is now set for Forest.
Brentford and Reading were rumoured to have been interested earlier in the summer, although Lamouchi now looks set to get his man.
The deal is likely to have an option to buy the 27-year-old at the end of the 2019/20 campaign.

Bostock featured 20 times in Ligue 1 for Toulouse last season, with 14 of those appearances coming in the starting eleven.
The ex-England under-19 international was tipped for big things earlier in his career when he came through the youth ranks at Crystal Palace.
A transfer to Tottenham in 2008 was set to be the making of Bostock but he left without playing a single league game for the club.
Since then he has played for a whole host of clubs and he will naturally hope to prove his worth in Lamouchi’s team and settle in England.
Bostock is naturally an orthodox central midfielder, although he can operate just in front of the back four as a more holding midfield maestro.
