Nottingham Forest are still looking to make further reinforcements in the transfer market as they now eye a Championship youngster.

Nottingham Forest have enjoyed a really productive transfer window so far, with Douglas Luiz set to become the eighth addition.

Luiz is about to complete a £25m transfer from Juventus, which will take their spending to around £172m.

Forest aren’t finished there, though, as they’re now exploring a move to sign a highly-rated Championship player.

Nottingham Forest make contact to sign Championship full-back

Nottingham Forest have been trying to sign a right-back for most of the summer transfer window as they look to provide Ola Aina with competition.

Forest had bids rejected for Pablo Maffeo earlier in the window as Mallorca stood firm in their £8m valuation.

Jackson Tchatchoua was another player on Nuno’s radar, but he’s now completed a £10.8m transfer to Wolves.

Now, according to Pete O’Rouke, Forest have made contact to sign Norwich City right-back Kellen Fisher.

Everton also in race to sign Kellen Fisher

Fisher, who has been capped at youth level by England, has established himself as one of the best youngsters in the second tier.

The 21-year-old was plying his trade in the fifth tier of English football only a few seasons ago before the Canaries snapped him up.

Forest aren’t alone in their interest, though, as Everton manager David Moyes is also considering a move to land his signature.

Fisher is under contract until 2028, so Norwich are well-placed to demand a fairly sizable fee for the versatile defender.
