Nottingham Forest are reportedly moving swiftly to capitalise on the breakdown of Inter Milan's move for Anan Khalaili, according to EPL Index (Opta Stats).
The Italian giants' pursuit of the attacking talent is said to have fallen apart, opening the door for Forest to step in and push forward with their own approach. The report indicates the East Midlands club are now in talks over a deal worth around €25million as they look to get the transfer wrapped up before the window shifts.
While details of personal terms and a potential timeline for medicals or an announcement remain unclear, the report suggests Forest see Khalaili as a genuine opportunity given Inter's exit from the race. It's understood the Premier League side are keen to move decisively rather than risk other suitors entering the picture.
Nothing has been confirmed by either party as things stand, but if EPL Index's report proves accurate, Forest could be closing in on a notable summer signing.
