Other teams expressing interest in the teenager include Premier League rivals Brentford, Bundesliga clubs Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig, as well as Getafe and Villarreal in Spain, and FC Porto of Portugal. This indicates that Nottingham Forest will have stiff competition in persuading him to sign a contract with them.

Nottingham Forest have been linked with interest in Real Betis talent Assane Diao who is not seeing many minutes on the pitch under manager Manuel Pellegrini.AdvertisementAdvertisement

Forest already have a set of versatile wingers in Anthony Elanga and Callum Hudson-Odoi who have helped the club remain unbeaten so far this season with some excellent performances.  

Hudson-Odoi found life at Chelsea hard as much like Diao, with the pathway to the first team was blocked. Forest could repeat this transfer and bring in a top talent who has been neglected by his club for a cut price that may work out just as well as the Hudson-Odoi deal.
