Joe Lolley’s stunning Championship form has reportedly caught the eye of West Bromwich Albion and Premier League pair Watford and Cardiff City.
Joe Lolley produced arguably the best performance of his career on Wednesday night against the club he supported as a boy.
Nottingham Forest sealed a stunning 5-5 draw away to Aston Villa in midweek with Lolley, who produced four assists and scored one himself with a remarkable 35-yard thunderbolt, undoubtedly the star of the show.
This was the seventh goal of a hugely impressive season for the Forest fans’ favourite. But whether the East Midlands outfit will be able to hold on to Lolley beyond the January transfer window remains to be seen.
Because the Mail is reporting that Watford are willing to give Lolley a second chance to prove himself in the Premier League, just ten months after he was discarded by Huddersfield Town.
Watford are understood to be preparing a bid with Forest set to demand at least £5 million. The Mail adds that Cardiff City, a side in need of a game-changing talent like Lolley, are also keeping a close eye on his form.
West Brom, who are two places and three points clear of Forest in the Championship table, are also interested in signing the 26-year-old, although it would be a major surprise if Aitor Karanka would be willing to sell his star man to a promotion rival.
