Nottingham Forest have reportedly agreed a deal to Benfica goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos.
The 29-year-old is now travelling to the UK for a medical after agreeing personal terms with the Premier League club, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Forest turned their attention to Vlachodimos after Dean Henderson, who enjoyed a successful loan switch at the City Ground last season, completed a £20million switch to Crystal Palace from Manchester United.
Forest signed goalkeeper Matt Turner from Arsenal earlier in the window and Vlachodimos could provide competition for the USA international.
Vlachodimos was not included in the Eagles’ match day squad for their past two league games against Estrela Amadora and Gil Vicente respectively.

The Greece international has made 225 appearances for the Portuguese giants after joining Benfica from Panathinaikos in 2018.
Vlachodimos has been linked with Manchester United as they looked to sign an additional shot-stopper to compete with Andre Onana.
