LONDON (AFP) –
Tottenham's Wales international Chris Gunter, who joined Nottingham Forest on loan last season, is poised to join the Championship side on a permanent basis.

Forest agreed a 1.75 million pound (2.4 million dollar) fee on Friday with Tottenham for the full-back who has agreed personal terms with the Reds and is set to undergo a medical.

Gunter failed to make an impact at Spurs following his two million pound arrival from Cardiff in January last year making just 16 appearances for the Premier League club in all competitions.

He joined Forest on loan towards the end of last season and made eight appearances as Billy Davies' side steered clear of relegation from the Championship.

Gunter will become the Reds' fifth summer signing following David McGoldrick, Dele Adebola, Lee Camp and Paul Anderson.
