Nottingham Forest need to bulk up their squad with European football on the horizon.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side will have to contend with a congested fixture list next season, so there is a pressing need to get quality through the door.
Nottingham Forest are eyeing Juventus attacker Timothy Weah and his teammate Samuel Mbangulu is also on their radar.
Dusan Vlahovic has been linked to Forest, too, so evidently the Tricky Trees feel they can snatch a couple of Juve players.
Now, a fresh Nottingham Forest transfer rumour has emerged, and this time it’s to a highly-experienced England international.

Nottingham Forest are in the market for a midfielder this summer, with Douglas Luiz on Espirito Santo’s radar.
Now, according to the Daily Mail, Forest are interested in signing Ajax and England midfielder Jordan Henderson.
Due to a clause in his contract, Henderson can leave the Dutch giants for free, however, it must be activated before mid-July.

The 35-year-old has been included in Thomas Tuchel’s first two England squads, so he hasn’t yet decided if he wants to leave Ajax.
Ligue 1 powerhouses Marseille are also keeping tabs on Henderson.

Henderson, despite his age, was a key fixture for Ajax last season and registered a commendable seven goal involvements.
45 appearances
1 goal
6 assists
The former Liverpool captain operated predominantly as a number six, rather than as a box-to-box midfielder.
So if he were to make a move to the City Ground, he’d be competing with the likes of Ibrahim Sangare and Nicolas Dominguez for a spot in the starting line-up.
