Nottingham Forest are reportedly pressing ahead in their pursuit of Burnley winger sign Maxwel Cornet .
Cornet has been the source of speculation this summer after impressing in his maiden season in England with the Clarets. The winger scored nine goals in 26 games for Burnley, but couldn't prevent their seven-year stay in the top flight from coming to an end.
Cornet has featured in pre-season under new Clarets boss Vincent Kompany, but relegation means the Ivory Coast player can leave Turf Moor and plenty of clubs have been credited with an interest. Among them are said to be promoted Forest, but reports suggest their opening bid for the 25-year-old was under his £17.5m buy-out clause.
