Charlton Athletic close to signing Danny Collins from Nottingham Forest?

Charlton Athletic are reportedly closing in on the signing of Nottingham Forest defender Danny Collins.

The 34-year-old has fallen out of favour at the City Ground this season, with Michael Mancienne, Jack Hobbs, Kelvin Wilson and Jamaal Lascelles ahead of him in the pecking order.

Charlton are said to be in the market for a centre-back, with new head coach Guy Luzon keen to shore up his backline.

According to the Sevenoaks Chronicle, talks between Charlton and Collins are at an advanced stage.

The Welshman joined Forest from Stoke City in 2012.
