Nottingham Forest want Fortuna Sittard midfielder Zian Flemming. Veronica Insider claims that a bid has already been made by the Championship outfit.

The 22-year-old signed for his current club from PEC Zwolle in August 2020. During 2020/21, he scored 15 goals and claimed seven assists in the Dutch top-flight.

Flemming played largely as a number 10 but does boast some versatility. He featured six times as a central midfielder, playing a further three games on the right-wing and as a striker.

The Amsterdam-born player is also on the radar of Napoli. It was claimed by Sky Italia on Friday that the Naples-based club are in the race for his signature.

It would seem as though the player wants to come to Forest though. Daniel Taylor from The Athletic claimed on Twitter that Flemming is keen to join the Reds this summer.

Forest are yet to make an addition to their ranks so far. The Reds are now back in pre-season training, however, and boss Chris Hughton will want players to arrive pretty quickly.

Forest fans seem excited by Flemming interest

A quick glance at Twitter suggests that Forest supporters would be quite excited with the addition of Flemming.

Of course, proof of his quality would come in the way of performances and Forest have been stung with the European market previously.

They have, however, seen some good players come in from overseas and the hope will be he can emulate some of the better additions.

Forest have to go for quality over quantity during this summer window, as the hierarchy aims to repair years of failings off the pitch.

Flemming might prove a decent start to proceedings and supporters are certainly in agreement that he could do well at Forest.
