Nottingham Forest have accepted an £8million offer from Tottenham Hotspur for Andy Reid and Michael Dawson.

Republic of Ireland international Reid and former England Under 21 captain Dawson have travelled to
North London to discuss personal terms and undergo medicals with a view to completing their moves to White Hart Lane before the transfer window closes at midnight.

Forest's Chief Executive Mark Arthur said: We have reached an agreement with Tottenham with regard to the sales of Andy Reid and Michael Dawson and we expect the transfers to be completed later today.

"Both players are understandably ambitious young men and are keen to play in the Premiership as soon as possible.

"This represents a great opportunity for both of them and as a Club, we felt we could not stand in their
way."

Reid and Dawson are both graduates of Forest's highly-rated Academy system and Mr. Arthur added: "The contributions of Andy and Michael to Nottingham Forest in recent years has been immense.

"They have been with us since they were schoolboys and have developed into two of the finest young players in the country. We will watch their progress in the Premiership with both a great deal of interest and pride.

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank them both for their efforts and wish them the very best of luck for the future."
