Nottingham Forest are likely to face immense competition in their pursuit of Leeds United midfielder Tyler Adams after the American’s agent met several clubs last week, according to the Daily Mail.

Adams, 24, joined the Whites from RB Leipzig last summer and made 26 appearances in all competitions for the Elland Road outfit this term.

As Leeds have now been relegated from the Premier League, a number of key players are tipped to leave the Yorkshire outfit this summer.

The 24-year-old is also linked with a move out of Elland Road, and several Premier League clubs, including Nottingham Forest, are keeping a keen eye on him.

However, it is claimed that Forest will face substantial competition in their chase after the American midfielder’s agent met several clubs last week.

The Tricky Trees have successfully retained their Premier League status this season after finishing the standings in 16th position.

And they have a task on their hands to trim as well as restructure their bloated squad having made 29 signings last year.

It remains to be seen now whether Nottingham Forest can lure away their midfield target from Elland Road this summer or concede a defeat in their chase of the American.

Nottingham Forest in advanced talks to essentially kill off two transfer rumours

Nottingham Forest are in advanced talks to sign Dean Henderson and if they land him they will likely kill off two emerging transfer rumours. The Reds are hoping to sign the Manchester United man on a permanent basis, with other goalkeepers on the radar.

According to Lazio Siamo Noi, the Reds want two other stoppers too. Luis Maximiano from Lazio and Sampdoria custodian Emil Audero are also thought to be on the radar at the City Ground ahead of the summer transfer window.

Surely these two links are purely options if anything should happen with a deal for Henderson. It’s been claimed that the deal will go through for the United stopper as soon as David de Gea has penned his new contract to remain at Old Trafford.

Both of the apparent backup options were linked with Forest in the winter transfer window. Aduero in particular was thought to be close to signing but he wanted to help Sampdoria try and avoid relegation.

The pair of stoppers could both leave their existing clubs this summer. Interestingly if Maximiano does leave Lazio, they will target Audero who will be on the move after Sampdoria’s relegation.

It seems highly unlikely either will end up at Forest though. The Reds want to sign Henderson and they seem pretty confident that the deal will take place this summer.

Forest in advanced talks to sign Henderson and that should kill two links

Audero and Maximiano are both good stoppers but they’re not Henderson. The United man knows the club having spent time on loan and the fans want that deal to take place.

Forest might pursue another stopper this summer. However, it’s unlikely that these two would come to the City Ground knowing that they wouldn’t be the first choice.

The Reds have Wayne Hennessey under contract for next season. He’s made a handful of appearances during 2022/23 and he’s never let anyone down.

As a result, it would make sense for the Welshman to continue as the number two. If the club does sign another goalkeeper expect it to be a younger stopper with one eye on the future.
