Newcastle United agree a deal with Nottingham Forest for the transfer of James Perch - report
The versatile player, who can play in midfield or defence, was believed to have been a transfer target for the Tyneside club, who are yet to make their first signing of the summer.
The Magpies achieved promotion to the Premier League following a sensational season in the Championship, while Forest narrowly missed out on achieving a similar feat when they tasted defeat in the play-off semi-finals to Blackpool - who went on to make the cut into the top-flight.
Now Sky Sports News have reported that the two clubs have reached agreement over the transfer of the 24-year-old for an undisclosed fee.
Perch graduated from Forest's youth academy and plied his trade at the City Ground for six years.
