Nottingham Forest: Keylor Navas set for medical in ‘next 24 hours’

Nottingham Forest: Keylor Navas set for medical in 'next 24 hours' - Nottingham Forest News

Nottingham Forest target Keylor Navas is set to undergo a medical in the ‘next 24 hours’ ahead of completing his move to the Premier League, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke.

The Lowdown: Henderson replacement required

Dean Henderson recently sustained a tear in his thigh and is therefore set to be out on the sidelines for four to five weeks, meaning that a temporary replacement is needed, and the Paris Saint-Germain star has been identified as the ideal candidate.

The Costa Rica captain has been heavily linked with a move to Steve Cooper’s side this month with the boss pushing to try and complete a deal, and having since personally given the green light, is now close to finalising his move to The City Ground.

The Latest: Navas set for late medical

Taking to Twitter, O’Rourke revealed that Navas is scheduled to have a medical at Forest ahead of the deadline following a significant breakthrough in negotiations.

“Nottingham Forest are in advanced talks to sign Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Keylor Navas and hope to have him do a medical in the next 24 hours.”

The Verdict: Double deal?

Newcastle United’s Jonjo Shelvey is reportedly close to confirming his move to Forest and it sounds like Navas will be the next to follow in his footsteps.

The 6 foot shot-stopper has kept an impressive 50 clean sheets in 108 PSG appearances and currently ranks in the 99th percentile for save percentage by shot-stoppers in Europe’s top leagues.

Navas is also the captain of his national side so will bring plenty of leadership qualities to the squad, alongside a taste of success having won an incredible 26 trophies throughout his career so far.
