Nottingham Forest defender Richie Laryea is attracting interest from 'multiple' Major League Soccer clubs, according to reports.
Laryea's immediate future at the City Ground is in doubt after making just five appearances for Steve Cooper's side following his switch from Toronto FC in January. After the arrival of Liverpool right-back Neco Williams on Tuesday, Laryea is reportedly set to depart on loan this summer for regular game time ahead of the World Cup in Qatar this winter.
Vancouver Whitecaps and FC Dallas have been credited with an interest in the player's situation, with the Canadian also in "discussions with multiple teams in Europe," according to The Athletic. Laryea spent six years in the MLS with three of those at Orlando City as a midfielder before being converted to a right wing-back at Toronto.

In his 47 appearances at Toronto, he scored seven goals while assisting five. If he returns to America, he will be subject to the MLS allocation process, meaning that any interested team would likely need to 'trade up toward the top of the ranking' in order to acquire his services.
FC Cincinnati is currently number one in the allocation order, having completed a number of deals already this season. FC Dallas hold the second position.
