Nottingham Forest have been handed a boost in their reported pursuit of Southampton striker Che Adams.
Forest have been linked with a move for the forward, who was part of the Saints team that got relegated from the Premier League after finishing bottom of the table.
Adams was the subject of transfer interest from Forest last summer, with Everton also keen, and the clubs have again been linked with signing the Scotland international. There have been doubts about his future at Southampton, with a further update now emerging.
