Publicly voicing his interest regarding a return to English football in an interview with Foot Mercato a couple of weeks ago, Molla Wagué could be on the verge of getting his wish granted.
According to Foot Mercato’s Dahbia Hattabi, the Udinese centre-back is currently in talks with Nottingham Forest regarding a potential loan to the Championship club, with Martin O’Neill’s side ‘accelerating’ to get a deal done.
Also approached by Lens in Ligue 2, the defender appears to be favouring a move to City Ground, having already featured for clubs such as Leicester and Watford in England in the past.
The 27-year-old has only made three appearances for Udinese this season, and he’ll be expecting a lot more from his next move, regardless of where it is.
As things stand, Nottingham Forest are currently ninth in the Championship, just four points behind Frank Lampard’s derby in the first playoff spot, having played one extra game.
