Nottingham Forest 'discuss' transfer for James Garner alternative

Nottingham Forest have reportedly started discussions over signing Southampton midfielder Will Smallbone as an alternative to James Garner this summer transfer window.

Garner, 21, played a pivotal role in the Reds' promotion to the Premier League this season and formed a strong relationship in midfield with Ryan Yates. The Manchester United loanee appeared 49 times in all competitions, scoring four goals and providing an assist.

The midfielder played a big part in the Championship play-off final winning goal against Huddersfield Town on Sunday, with his delivery in the box causing Levi Colwill to put the ball into his own net.
