Nottingham Forest 'step up' transfer move with bid for £13m ace

Nottingham Forest have stepped up their interest in Burnley winger Maxwel Cornet, according to reports.

The winger, who can also play at wing-back, was one of the Clarets' best players last season as they were relegated on the final day of the Premier League season. Cornet scored nine goals in 26 games for Burnley after arriving from Lyon for £12.85 million.

Now, after their drop down to the Championship, Forest and Everton are the two clubs tipped to lure the Ivory Coast international away from Turf Moor for an instant return to the Premier League. And according to The Times, Steve Cooper's side have 'stepped up' their efforts to sign the 25-year-old.
