Nottingham Forest are reportedly interested in signing Salernitana midfielder Lassana Coulibaly.
The 26-year-old joined the Serie A outfit last year in a bid to revive his career and has made 48 appearances so far. Coulibaly, who arrived at Rangers on loan in 2018, couldn't live up to expectations under then-manager Steven Gerrard.
He has since managed to kick on and make a name for himself in Italy. An impressive string of performances in midfield for Davide Nicola's side have reportedly attracted interest from Steve Cooper's Forest.

According to Italian outlet SalernoToday, Salernitana have named their price for the 26-year-old. He is said to be available for less than €8million (£7m).
The report also says that 'at the moment it is an approach' from the Reds. Cooper's side are understood to 'like' Coulibaly and are interested in signing him when the window re-opens next month.
Former Aston Villa manager Gerrard previously spoke highly of Coulibaly. He said: "Coulibaly is a destroyer type midfielder, he is very different to what he have here.
"I have watched him numerous times and he breaks play up and keeps it simple. He will add a bit of power in the engine room for us."
