Nottingham Forest are reportedly in 'advanced negotiations' with Lens as goalkeeper Brice Samba readies to return to France this summer.
The 28-year-old has just 12 months remaining on his current contract at the City Ground, and talks over a new deal have stalled. The Reds insist that an extension has been offered with the idea that he would stay, but Samba is equally saif to be ready to return to the continent.
Forest signed the goalkeeper from Normandy-based Caen for an undisclosed fee in 2019. Samba, a former France under-19 international, had previously spent spells at Marseille and Le Havre as well as loans at Nancy.
