Nottingham Forest interest in Chelsea man resurfaces as Newcastle United join transfer hunt

Newcastle United have joined Nottingham Forest in the race to sign former Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko, according to reports in Italy.

Forest were credited with interest in the 27-year-old earlier in this month as Steve Cooper continues to restructure his squad at the City Ground. Bakayoko is currently halfway through a two-year loan with AC Milan after struggling at Chelsea.

Previous reports suggested Milan had held "new talks" with Forest over a move to the East Midlands, but speculation went quiet following the arrival of Remo Freuler from Atalanta. Now, with two days remaining of the summer transfer window, Bakayoko could still make a return to the Premier League.
