Rangers stopper Connor Goldson 'wanted' by Nottingham Forest as EPL new boys eye up free transfer

Nottingham Forest are ready to make their move for Connor Goldson, according to reports.

The Rangers defender is out of contract at the Ibrox club and the English Premier League new boys are eyeing up a swoop.

They secured a place in top flight following a 1-0 play-off final win over Huddersfield at Wembley.

And now the Scottish Sun report that they are ready to up the ante in a bid to land the stopper.

Rangers haven't given up hope of convincing the ever-present defender to extend his stay in Glasgow - but Giovanni van Bronckhorst admitted earlier this month they only had a 'small chance' of hanging on to the defender.

Steve Cooper is a huge fan of Goldson and he hopes Forest landing a spot in the top flight will help convince him to return south of the border.

Goldson was a standout once again as Rangers reached the Europa League final and lifted the Scottish Cup.

He featured 60 times, scoring four goals for the Ibrox men.

Should he join Forest he could hook up with ex-Aberdeen defender Scott McKenna and one-time Rangers defender Joe Worrall.

Although interest is high in Worrall with Leicester City and West Ham said to be keen.

But he could hang around at the City Ground and link up with Goldson following promotion to England's top league.
