Nottingham Forest have made an enquiry to Chelsea over a possible transfer for full-back Emerson, according to reports.
The Reds are on the search for a left-back this summer as Steve Cooper continues the rebuild of his squad for the Premier League season. Forest looked to be closing in on a deal for Real Betis defender Alex Moreno, having agreed a fee with his club, but the player announced this week that he has decided to remain in Spain.
That has left Forest having to turn to other targets with under four weeks of the transfer window remaining. One name to be linked is Villarreal left-back Pervis Estupinan, with the club said to have made an enquiry for the 24-year-old.
