Nottingham Forest's vociferous fanbase could provide the perfect environment for transfer target Issa Kabore to continue his development.
The Reds are understood to be tracking the 21-year-old's availability as an alternative to Djed Spence after he had an impressive breakthrough season in France. Kabore, one of a number of talented youngsters at Manchester City, has spent the last 12 months at the Citizens' sister club Troyes.
Kabore, an attack-minded defender, featured 31 times in Ligue 1. He also helped Burkina Faso reach the semi-finals of the African Cup of Nations, where he was named young player of the tournament after registering three assists.
