Talks have taken place over turning Nottingham Forest defender Richie Laryea’s loan switch to Toronto FC into a permanent move.
The full-back signed for the Reds from the Major League Soccer outfit in January, reportedly turning down the offer of fresh four-year terms in order to link up with Steve Cooper’s side. He penned a three-and-a-half-year contract in a deal thought to be worth about $1m (roughly £740,000).
However, he struggled to break into the Forest team and made just five appearances last season, with only one of those coming in the starting XI. Amid a summer overhaul following promotion to the Premier League, he was one of a number of departures from the City Ground.
