Nottingham Forest look set to miss out on the signing of free agent Alexander Djiku, it is reported.
The defender had been on the lookout for a new challenge after leaving Strasbourg upon the expiration of his contract last month. Forest were reportedly facing competition from Lille, Villarreal and Fenerbahce.
The Reds had "put forward a proposal" as Steve Cooper looks to strengthen at the back this summer. According to L'Equipe, Forest and Fenerbahce were claimed to be in the "best position" to land the player.
