Nottingham Forest handed boost as player tops Juventus transfer list
The latest Nottingham forest transfer news as the Reds were one of three Premier League clubs to be linked with an interest in the England youth international.
Nottingham Forest have been handed a boost should they reignite their interest in Juventus youngster Samuel Iling Junior, according to reports in Italy.
Forest were linked with an interest in the 19-year-old back in August as Steve Cooper looked to strengthen his squad ahead of the new season. It was said that an official approach was ‘expected’ from both Forest and Serie A side Bologna, with the latter keen to take the teenager on loan.
A move away from Juventus never materialised during the summer window. Forest instead completed a move for Anthony Elanga from Manchester United, but could be given a prompt to reignite their interest when the January window opens.

He has played a total of 21 times for the Italian giants’ first team, scoring once.
