Forest – and rivals Derby County – have been linked with the 19-year-old, while a return to Birmingham City has also been mooted.

Following news that Arsenal defender Krystian Bielik has revealed that he would love another loan spell in the Championship, as said to Tomasz Cwiakala, and reported by the Birmingham Mail, Nottingham Forest should use this opportunity to make their move.
The 19-year-old was linked with a switch to The City Ground fairly recently, as reported by ESPN, with Mark Warburton allegedly very interested in taking the Poland U18 star on loan for the 2017/18 campaign.

The report also stated that Derby County and Norwich City are also interested in his services, while a return to Birmingham City – whom he was on loan at from January – is something that cannot be ruled out as Harry Redknapp looks to mould his own side.
But with Bielik now announcing that he wants a loan spell to further his development, Forest should strike now before other clubs interested in his services gain a head start on them in transfer negotiations.

The Reds are looking to have a bit of a clear out on Trentside, while also looking to bring some players in, and as it seems likely that Warburton wants to go for a 3-4-3 formation next season, Forest will need another centre back if that’s the case.
Matt Mills is out of contract in the summer and as of yet, no fresh terms have been agreed, Jack Hobbs is very injury prone, and it remains to be seen whether Thomas Lam fits into Warburton’s plans, so Bielik’s arrival would be most welcome at The City Ground.
