Nottingham Forest have reportedly seen a bid for Mainz centre-back Moussa Niakhate rejected as Steve Cooper looks to add to his squad this summer.
The Reds are closing in on their first signing since earning promotion back to the Premier League. Forest are said to be in ‘advanced talks’ to sign Union Berlin forward Taiwo Awoniyi for a club record fee of £17.5 million.
It seems that the striker may not be the only signing from the Bundesliga this summer as Forest look to add more players. According to German outlet BILD , Forest have seen a first offer for Mainz captain Niakhate rejected.
