Nottingham Forest enter transfer race for PSG midfielder

Nottingham Forest have been linked with interest in Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Éric Junior Dina Ebimbe.

The Reds have been named in the French media as a club that have "come forward" to sign the 21-year-old, but they are not alone. Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt have stolen a march on Forest and lead the way in the player chase.

That may not deter Forest, though, who have been prolific in snapping up their targets so far this summer and have made 12 new signings ahead of the Premier League season starting next week. If Forest need one more signing, it would arguably be a central midfield player, so interest in Ebimbe would make sense.

The player has been linked with an exit from PSG since January as he seeks regular football and a more substantial role. According to French outlet Le10Sport, PSG want between €5m and €10m for the youngster, who made just four Ligue 1 starts and six substitute appearances last season.

The Premier League is an attractive proposition for any player, and given the fees Forest have spent on players so far this summer, the reported asking price is one owner Evangelos Marinakis would probably be happy to match.
