Nottingham Forest and Rangers in 'advanced' transfer talks over young defender

Rangers are in "advanced talks" with Nottingham Forest to sign defender Jonathan Panzo.

The two clubs are in discussions over a £2.5million deal that will see Panzo move to Ibrox just 18 months after signing for Forest, according to our colleagues at the Daily Record. Rangers are at the "front of the queue" for his signature with Championship sides Coventry City and West Brom also interested in the 22-year-old.

The Scottish giants hold an advantage because of their manager Michael Beale, who coached Panzo when he was coming through the academy system at Chelsea. Rangers are said to have scouted him several times over the past season, while he was on loan at Coventry City as they reached the Championship play-off final.
