Departing Bristol Rovers defender Tom Lockyer is reportedly on the radar of Nottingham Forest.
Lockyer is leaving League One club Bristol Rovers this summer and is available on a free transfer.
It has been reported that Championship club Forest are looking at bringing the 24-year-old defender on a free transfer.
According to Bristol Live, Forest were keeping tabs on Lockyer, but instead decided to sign former Leeds United right-back Sam Byram on a season-long loan deal from Premier League side West Ham United.
Competition
Forest, though, will face stiff competition for the Wales international defender, according to Bristol Live.
Bristol Live has quoted Lockyer as saying that four clubs in the Championship and a few teams in League One are interested in securing his services.
According to WhoScored, the Welshman made 40 appearances in League One for Rovers this season, scoring three goals in the process.
Forest had a disappointing Championship season in 2018-19 and will hope to challenge for the playoffs in 2019-20.
