Nottingham Forest youngster attracting interest from four Premier League clubs

Nottingham Forest youngster Billy Fewster is understood to be attracting interest from four Premier League clubs as he looks to breakthrough at the City Ground.

The 19-year-old Under-21s midfielder has regularly trained with the first team and is currently with Steve Cooper's group along with the likes of Dale Taylor and Oliver Hammond after the senior players returned from their break.

Fewster is out of contract in the summer and would hope to extend his stay beyond then. A loan move for the attack minded midfielder in January is possible at League Two or National League level, although there is believed to be interest from League One.

Fewster is yet to make a senior appearance and will need to prove he can meet the physical demands outside of Under-21s football. He began his career at Leeds United, joining Forest last summer on a free transfer and made the bench for the Carabao Cup win at Grimsby Town at the start of this season.

Fewster is among a promising crop of players in the Under-21s under Dave Rogers, who succeeded Andy Reid as coach at the start of the season.

Striker Taylor is a full Northern Ireland international and signed a three-year deal in the summer. He was named on the bench in the most recent Premier League game.

Taylor came off the bench at Grimsby along with Hammond and Zach Abbott, with Taylor's countryman Aaron Donnelly playing the full game. Meanwhile, defender Riley Harbottle and striker Will Swan are having strong loan spells at Mansfield Town.
