Nottingham Forest 'fancy their chances' of re-signing Blackburn Rovers striker

Nottingham Forest reportedly "fancy their chances" of re-signing academy graduate Ben Brereton Diaz from Blackburn Rovers this summer.

The 23-year-old left the City Ground initially on loan as a teenager in August 2018 before making the move to Lancashire permanent the following January. Brereton Diaz has scored 31 goals in over 100 appearances since departing, 22 of which came last season as Rovers fell short of a play-off position in the Championship.

After having a one-year contract extension option activated by the club back in May when the striker was set to be a free agent this summer, it is claimed that Blackburn are "looking to cash in" this off-season now that they can secure a transfer fee. As many as five Premier League clubs are said to be interested.
