Report: Nottingham Forest close in on Juventus duo Timothy Weah and Samuel Mbangula

However, the transfers are not yet finalised, as Forest must still agree personal terms with both players.

Talks are ongoing regarding salary and contract length for the duo, who are currently with Juventus in the United States, competing in the Club World Cup.

Juventus, managed by Igor Tudor, have already secured progression to the round of 16 and are preparing to face Manchester City in their next match.

Weah, a 25-year-old American international, has missed this summer's CONCACAF Gold Cup due to his Club World Cup commitments.

Despite his absence, the U.S. managed a narrow 2-1 win over Haiti and are set to face Costa Rica in the quarterfinals on Saturday in Minneapolis.

Meanwhile, Samuel Mbangula, the highly rated 21-year-old Belgian, is considered one of Juventus' most promising young talents. His inclusion in the Club World Cup squad underlines his growing importance to the Serie A side.

Forest's pursuit of Weah and Mbangula signals the club's intent to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.

The East Midlands club, who narrowly avoided relegation last term, are looking to inject pace and youth into their ranks.
