Nottingham Forest are reportedly "interested" in signing Barcelona rising star Abde Ezzalzouli in the summer transfer window.
The 21-year-old is currently on loan with Osasuna, where he has put in a series of impressive performances in La Liga. There was no buy option included in the deal and Spanish media reports suggest he could be on the move once the season is over.
'Ez Abde' is said to be attracting attention from the Premier League. Nottingham Forest are "one of the most interested teams" in his signature, according to Relevo.

The report adds that the winger's preference would be to stay at the Nou Camp next season and fight for his place in the squad. But with players such as Raphinha and Ousmane Dembele occupying the wide positions in attack his chances of gametime could be very limited.
The player is likely to have sit-down talks with Barcelona in the summer about his future. If he does decide to move on then Forest wouldn't be the only club looking to sign him, with "other teams" said to be interested.
Abde has made 19 appearances in all competitions for Osasuna this term, providing two goals and two assists. This weekend he lines out for the Pamplona outfit in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey.
Barcelona take on Real Madrid in the other side of the draw and if both sides go through then Abde will not partake in the final due to a clause in the loan deal preventing him from facing his parent club.
The right-footed youngster, who plays predominantly on the left wing, also played a part in Morocco's incredible run to the semi-finals of the Fifa men's World Cup late last year. He came off the bench in games against Croatia, Spain and France.
