Nottingham Forest are being linked with 'launching an attack' to sign Cremonese left-sided defender Emanuele Valeri once the January transfer window opens in the new year.
The 23-year-old wide player has caught the eye since the newly-promoted side returned to the top flight for the first time in 26 years. Valeri most notably caught the eye earlier this month with a late equaliser against Atalanta to secure just a second point of the season for his side.
A defender in name only, he has chipped in with an impressive 14 goals and 23 assists when rising through the divisions in Italy while representing the likes of Cesena and Lecce all the way from Serie D to this maiden season in Serie A. His current contract expires and Valeri, who turns 24 in December before any move could take place, has also been linked with more established top-flight sides in the country.
