Nottingham Forest are ready to sign Nikola Milenkovic, but the club will not stop there in its search for fresh players.
After England’s second consecutive defeat in the European Championship final, clubs are beginning to crank up their recruitment.
Forest are close to completing the signing of the Serbian, and Gianluca Di Marzio feels it might be done today.
The Reds now have other options to pursue, beginning with a left-back.
Forest are thought to have a number of targets in mind for the summer, and things appear to be heating up a little.
Nottingham Forest wants Bradley Locko.
The left-back is a sought man this summer, and Forest are considering signing him.
Locko is available for roughly £13 million, with Stade Brestois accepting that one of their key players may depart.
Forest could now go ahead, having put themselves in the running to sign the man coveted by Nuno Espirito Santo.
The 22-year-old will not be an easy signing, as Tutto Juve reports that Juventus is also interested in the teenager.
Locko has made 43 appearances for his current club and previously played for Stade Reims.
He’s a left-back who enjoys getting forward, and some of his statistics suggest that he could be a helpful addition.
Squawka demonstrated that last season, he completed more crosses and won more tackles than Forest’s Ola Aina, who frequently played at left back.
Forest would appreciate another left back.
Locko appears to be another fascinating addition for Forest fans to consider, and the Reds appear to have changed their strategy in the transfer market.
Forest no longer signs 30 players in a single summer, and a more methodical approach is evident.
Locko appears to be the type of player who will only grow in the future, and Forest would benefit from having a left-back on their roster.
Ola Aina now holds that position on the team, however injuries limited his playing time to 22 games last season.
There is Harry Toffolo among the ranks, and while he is an honest performer, there is a sense that Forest will need to improve if they are to move.
Another left-back would undoubtedly be beneficial in this summer’s transfer market, and signing Locko would tick a lot of boxes.
