# Nottingham Forest: Remo Freuler ‘in England’ ahead of Reds transfer

**[Nottingham Forest](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/nottingham-forest-news/) are closing in on the signing of Atalanta midfielder Remo Freuler, with Fabrizio Romano claiming the player is ‘in England’ prior to his move.**

### The Lowdown: Freuler closing in on move

The 30-year-old has emerged as one of the Reds’ main transfer targets in the last few weeks, with [Sky Sports’ Florian Plettenberg](https://twitter.com/Plettigoal/status/1555968110540124160) claiming a ‘verbal agreement’ was in place last week.

Freuler has been a key player for Atalanta over the years, making an impressive tally of [259 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/remo-freuler/alletore/spieler/148252), scoring 20 goals and registering 23 assists along the way.

He also has [46](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/remo-freuler/alletore/spieler/148252) caps for Switzerland, and it now appears as though his move to Forest is closer than ever.

### The Latest: Romano provides new update

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1557920422821257216?s=20&t=qaGyzfgVZ4otV-9NdxNPbQ) on Friday morning, Romano claimed that Freuler is now in the UK to complete his switch to the City Ground and an announcement is expected today:

> “Official statement expected today for Freuler as new Nottingham Forest player – he’s already in England. Here we go confirmed.”

### The Verdict: Done by Sunday?

This feels like a matter of time now, as Forest’s extraordinary summer in the transfer market continues, having already spent huge sums on several new players.

Freuler is someone whose experience at the base of the midfield could prove priceless, allowing others in front of him to create and score. He enjoyed an [88.2% pass completion rate](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/302691/Show/Remo-Freuler) during World Cup qualifying for Switzerland, highlighting his ability and composure on the big stage.

Expected to cost around [€10m (£8.5m)](https://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/serie-a/tmw-atalanta-il-nottingham-forest-arriva-a-10-milioni-per-freuler-accordo-ad-un-passo-1713617), perhaps we could even see him unveiled on Sunday when Forest host West Ham in their first home game back in the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/).
