Nottingham Forest have tabled a third bid for Celtic midfielder Arne Engels worth up to £25m. The English Premier League club failed with an initial £14m offer for the 22-year-old Belgium international and then had an improved £17m bid also turned down. He has played 89 times in all competitions for the Glasgow club and helped them win the Scottish Premiership and Scottish League Cup last season. Both Celtic, who O'Neill says are close to making two signings, and Forest are in the Europa League play-offs that take place this month. O'Neill's side are second in the Premiership, six points behind leaders Hearts, while Forest are 17th in the Premier League.
