Wantaway: Macaulay Zepa
The 17-year-old winger has yet to sign a professional deal with Fulham having rejected an initial offer from the club.
Zepa is keen on a move away, with Bournemouth and Forest prepared to offer the youngster a long-term deal.
Both clubs have held talks with Zepa and believe their respective offers are a reflection of their faith in the 2008-born winger.
Zepa only turned 17 at the start of July but Bournemouth and Forest have discussed first-team pathways with the player as part of negotiations.
The teenager is highly regarded at Fulham and came off the bench to score for the club’s Under-21s team on Tuesday.
The Frenchman impressed during his debut season for Fulham’s Under-18s last season, finishing with 10 goals and eight assists.

Zepa has since been promoted to the Under-21s team and grabbed a goal and an assist as Hayden Mullins’ team kicked off the new season with a 7-0 win over Sutton United.
Fulham have shown there is a pathway through to the first team for their academy players under Marco Silva.
The Whites have tied down academy prospects Josh King and Seth Ridgeon to new long-term deals and will also hope to convince Zepa to stay in west London.
