Report: Henri Lansbury to leave Arsenal for Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest are poised to sign midfielder Henri Lansbury from Arsenal for a transfer fee of £1m.

According to The Telegraph, the Gunners accepted the Championship club's bid for the 21-year-old over the weekend.

Lansbury was in talks with Forest before their League Cup second-round encounter against Wigan Athletic on Tuesday, and is expected to officially sign for them on a permanent deal on Wednesday.

The England Under-21 international will become Forest's ninth signing of the summer after the takeover of the club by Kuwaiti millionaires the Al-Hasawi family.
