Nottingham Forest could reportedly turn their attention to former Crystal Palace midfielder Cheikhou Kouyaté after their 'failure' to sign Idrissa Gueye from Paris Saint-Germain.
Gueye is said to be closing in on a return to the Premier League with former club Everton rather than the Reds, despite attempts from Forest to hijack the transfer. The offer of a three-year contract for the 32-year-old was reportedly rejected in favour of going back to Merseyside.
Now the Reds could apparently turn their attention to Kouyaté, a Senegal national team colleague of Gueye. The Senegal international is a free agent after leaving the south London club earlier this summer at the end of his contract at Selhurst Park.
