Nottingham Forest are now eyeing a former Premier League player to potentially become singing number six of the summer.
Nuno Espirito Santo‘s side have been one of the busier sides in the transfer market with five new faces already brought in to the City Ground.
Most of those players have already had their first experience in a Forest shirt following the opening two pre-season friendlies.
The latest signing Nikola Milenkovic has now joined up with the Forest squad in Spain but is yet to make his debut for the Reds.
Although Forest have been active in the window, they are still looking to make more additions having avoided any PSR punishment this time around.
Forest showing real interest in former Premier League winger
Adding to their front line has been something which has been clearly on the radar at Forest with numerous options being eyed.
According to L’Equipe, Forest are now showing an interest in the Marseille winger Ismaila Sarr.
The former Watford forward is a player which the Ligue 1 outfit would be willing to sell this summer having already considered him as an option in a swap deal with Villarreal for Filip Jorgensen.
However, Forest are not the only side to have shown their interest in Sarr with Crystal Palace also on the case.
With Marseille looking to sell, the 26-year-old is said to be excited by the prospect of a potential return to the Premier League.
