Nottingham Forest are attempting to pull off a double swoop at Huddersfield Town after reports claim the club have bid for a second Terriers player.
As reported by NottinghamshireLive yesterday, Steve Cooper is understood to have made an offer for central midfielder Lewis O’Brien. But now it has emerged that the Reds are also hoping to sign wing-back Harry Toffolo for a combined fee of £10m-£12million, according to The Athletic.
The report claims 23-year-old O’Brien would cost more, and that Toffolo is valued at a cut-price £2.5m by Forest because he is in the final year of his contract.

However, it article claims Huddersfield have a different valuation, with the Championship play-off finalists wanting in the region of £12m for O’Brien alone, and chairman Dean Hoyle is "determined to get the right price for his club".
O’Brien and 26-year-old Toffolo were both part of the Huddersfield side that reached the Championship play-off final last season, before losing 1-0 to Forest.
Forest have already made six signings so far this summer - Neco Williams, Omar Richards, Taiwo Awoniyi, Dean Henderson, Giulian Biancone and Moussa Niakhate - spending around £60m as they prepare for life back in the Premier League.
