Nottingham Forest are set to rival Newcastle United for Marseille forward Bamba Dieng, according to reports.
The 22 year-old is highly rated in France, having scored eight goals and provided three assists in all competitions for Marseille last season. His performances in the first half of the 2021/22 campaign led to Newcastle tabling a bid for the player in the January window with Eddie Howe's side retaining their interest this summer.
According to the Daily Mail, Forest are ‘targeting’ Dieng this summer as Steve Cooper looks to continue to add to his squad before the end of the summer transfer window. They do however have competition from the likes of Leeds, West Ham, Crystal Palace and Celtic, who are all said to have scouted the Senegal international.
