Nottingham Forest have made a £35m bid to sign Jean-Philippe Mateta from Crystal Palace. The France striker, who has told Palace he wants to leave, is among Forest’s targets as they look to strengthen in attack.
Forest signed the 6ft 7in forward Lorenzo Lucca on loan from Napoli last week with an option to make the deal permanent. Only Wolves (15) have scored fewer top-flight goals this season than Forest (23).
