Nottingham Forest, fresh from their promotion back to the Premier League, are trying to bolster their squad ahead of what will likely be a tough season.
Getting some new defenders and a striker appears to be a priority at City Ground, which is why they are linked with Moussa Niakhaté.
L’Equipe are the ones reporting the Mainz 05 defender ‘could join Nottingham Forest this summer’, and is ‘currently discussing’ with them, although there is competition from Everton and West Ham United.
As mentioned above, both Everton and West Ham are also on the case, as the established Premier League duo have ‘also manifested an interest’ about a move.
It’s no secret the Toffees need some help at the back after what was a very disappointing season for them, while the Hammers also need to add depth in their defence.
That means Everton and West Ham are likely to provide competition to Nottingham Forest, who could have done without this when trying to convince a player to join them.
