HITC Sport understands Nottingham Forest are keen on the Fulham goalkeeper.

Nottingham Forest are interested in Fulham goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.
Forest boss Mark Warburton is in the market for a new goalkeeper as he looks to strengthen his goalkeeping options at the City Ground and Bettinelli is thought to figure highly on his wanted list.
Forest have Jordan Smith and Stephen Henderson on their goalkeeping books, but Warburton is looking to bring in a new No.1 as he looks to improve on last season when they narrowly avoided relegation.
England Under-21 international Bettinelli’s future at Fulham is up in the air with the keeper playing second fiddle to David Button for most of last season following his arrival from Brentford last summer.

Bettinelli won his place back in the Fulham starting XI in April and started the last eight games of the season, including the two Championship Play-Off semi-final ties against Reading.
The 25-year-old is keen to be playing regularly at this stage of his career and if that does not happen at Fulham he could consider moving on.
Bettinelli, who has come through the ranks at Fulham, still has two years to run on his current deal at Craven Cottage and it remains to be seen if Fulham would consider letting him leave this summer.
