Nottingham Forest are reportedly interested in signing Leicester City’s Andy King.

A number of Nottingham Forest fans have taken to Twitter to comment on the reports coming from Sky Sports this week suggesting that Martin O’Neill wants to sign Andy King on loan.

O’Neill is still adapting to his surroundings at the City Ground. Yohan Benalouane became his first signing since being appointed as Aitor Karanka’s successor, and he is now working on getting further players through the door.

Sky Sports reports that King is one target, but a number of Championship sides are also keen on the 30-year-old who has been made available this month.

Interestingly, the reports have seemingly divided the Forest fans on social media. There are plenty who believe that he could be an excellent signing, as he offers something different to what the club already have in the middle of the park.

The Wales international – who earns £40,000-a-week, according to Spotrac – also has experience of winning promotion out of the second tier. However, there are several others who are underwhelmed and disappointed about the rumours.

King has barely featured for the Foxes in recent times, and some feel that his best days are behind him, and thus, they should look elsewhere during the final days of the January window.
