According to FootballScotland, both Arsenal and Forest sent scouts to watch Watret in Ayr United’s SPFL Trust Trophy victory against Raith Rovers last weekend.
The full-back played the full 90 minutes in the clash with the article claiming that multiple clubs believe that he has significant potential and have sent staff to watch him.
Dylan Watret would be a fantastic addition for Nottingham Forest
While Watret is still very young, he has already shown many signs that he will become a top player in the future.
The full-back has adapted to life in Ayr United’s first team quickly and has not looked out of place.
It would therefore be a great move for Forest to bring the defender to the East Midlands.
