EXCLUSIVE: Nottingham Forest leading race to sign £13m French leftback, Player wants City Ground move

Nottingham Forest are not looking like stopping anytime soon in the transfer market as they look to add signing number seven.

Nuno Espirito Santo has certainly been back by Evangelos Marinakis this summer as he has seen six players added to his squad.

There had even been suggestions from Brazil that Forest had secured the signing of Ramon Sosa earlier this week. That has turned out not quite to be the case, but it seems as if Forest are still keen to strike whilst the iron is hot and land their seventh signing.

Despite their efforts to land Sosa still rumbling away in the background, there is another player who the Reds are desperate to bring in this summer.

The business done by Forest in the summer market has been pretty impressive on the back of such a difficult 2023/24 campaign. And those players are already showing their worth on the pitch with goalkeeper Matz Sels sharing his delight in playing with Nikola Milenkovic.

The trip to Spain proved to be a valuable one for the Reds with the summer signings able to bond with their new teammates as well as work on their fitness. Although any new signings have missed the trip to Spain, Forest could still bring in a couple of additions before their season opener.

According to Le 10 Sport, Forest are making an effort on almost a daily basis to land Bradley Locko from Stade Brestois. Locko is currently impressing with the French Olympic squad in Paris with the links to the left-back going on since last month.

With Napoli having also shown an interest in the defender, it is believed Forest have now taken the lead to sign the 22-year-old.

With Brest standing firm in their €15m (£13m) valuation of the defender, it is believed Locko is keen to make the move to the City Ground.
