French side Lens are said to have made a direct enquiry for Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Brice Samba.
The Reds face losing their first-choice stopper this summer, just as they are preparing for their return to the Premier League after a 23-year absence. Samba has 12 months left to run on his contract and is said to have turned down the offer of a new one.
The 28-year-old has reportedly deemed Forest’s terms “unacceptable”. And, as a result, he is said to have told the club he intends to leave, with the transfer window officially opening on Friday.
