The energetic central midfielder, who can also play wide, is being courted by both clubs and is said to be open to a Championship switch.
Brighton are said to be leading the chase for his signature, but Forest are also keeping tabs on things – with coach Philippe Montanier likely to know the player from his time coaching in France.

A deal to join Turkish side Trabzonspor fell apart at the start of the month and it seems that England could be his next destination.
The Toulouse star has a brother, Jean-Louis, who has played most of his career in England and is currently with League Two side Barnet.
Brighton are looking to find another central midfielder, with the future of Dale Stephens still very much up in the air.

Forest are also looking to add some dynamism to the middle of the park.
Both clubs would be bringing in a fantastic player with over 100 appearances in Ligue 1.
