Town are one of a number of sides being linked with a loan move for Nottingham Forest forward Dilane Bakwa.
According to the _[Daily Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2026/08/24/nottingham-forest-transfer-news-jacob-murphy-liam-delap/)_, the Blues, Hull City and Fiorentina have all made their interest in former France U21 international.
