Nottingham Forest could have been dealt a blow in their reported interest in Real Betis midfielder William Carvalho, with the player agreeing to move to Lyon, according to reports.
Steve Cooper is keen to further add to his squad this transfer window with central midfield one of the areas being targeted. Reports over the last few days claim that Carvalho appears at the top of a shortlist of potential targets.
There were also claims that the Reds had opened talks with Real Betis over a summer move. It was added that Forest would have to beat off competition from French side Lyon, who were eyeing a swap deal with Betis which will see Houssem Aouar go the other way.
