Nottingham Forest in picture for low-cost signing – Player’s exit this summer ‘can’t be ruled out’

Two months ago, we covered claims from France which stated Stade Brestois’s Bradley Locko has ended up on Nottingham Forest’s radar.

The left-back initially joined the Ligue 1 side from Stade de Reims on loan in January 2023 and his stay there was made permanent later that year. Locko impressed in his full season at Brest, making 35 appearances in all competitions and this hasn’t gone unnoticed.

That’s according to Tutto Juve, who claim Nottingham Forest are one of the clubs to have shown interest in the 22-year-old. Nuno Espírito Santo’s side are mentioned in the report that urges Juventus to focus on the fullback.

The Serie A side are looking to sign a new left-back this summer and the report insists Locko could be a low-cost opportunity, considering that he’s valued at around €15m.

It’s claimed the Frenchman could be an excellent solution for the Old Lady, but they would face competition from other clubs.

The fullback has several interested parties and this includes Nottingham Forest, Napoli, Stade Rennais and VfB Stuttgart. Tutto Juve claim these teams carried out surveys in June, and Brest selling him in this window ‘can’t be ruled out’.
