Former Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Brice Samba has been linked with a surprise return to England with Premier League side Leicester City just 12 months after leaving the City Ground.
The Frenchman was a surprise departure from the club as part of a squad overhaul following his heroics in the play-offs to help the Reds to the Premier League last season. Samba was the hero in the semi-final against Sheffield United as Steve Cooper’s men booked their place at Wembley after a penalty shootout.
The goalkeeper played the full 90 minutes of the final at the national stadium as Forest came out as 1-0 winners over Huddersfield Town. The victory saw them return to the top division for the first time in 23 years.
