Nottingham Forest are reportedly 'keen' on re-signing academy graduate Jamaal Lascelles - but the Newcastle United captain is similarly keen to stay and fight for his position at the club.
Lascelles left the City Ground for good in 2015 after initially being loaned back to the Reds, alongside Karl Darlow, for the following season after signing for Newcastle the previous summer. The 29-year-old has gone on to make more than 200 appearances for the North East side over the last eight seasons, but just six of those have come this season.
Since starting the fifth match of the Premier League season against Liverpool at Anfield, the Derby-born defender has only featured three more times as a late substitute in the league, as well as two further appearances from the off in the second and third rounds of the Carabao Cup. Lascelles was not even named in the matchday squad when Forest visited St James' Park on the opening weekend of the season.
