Nottingham Forest fans are largely enthused by the reports that Stoke City want to buy Ben Osborn from them this summer.

The Nottingham Post claim that Osborn is on Stoke’s wishlist, with Forest braced to receive interest in the 24-year-old.

Osborn has been a key player for the Reds over the past campaign, but there is some debate among Forest fans as to how much he is worth.

And some supporters of Aitor Karanka’s side suggest that Osborn should be sold, if Stoke do make the £5 million bid they are said to be considering.

Osborn has developed through Forest’s academy, before becoming a star for Karanka’s side.

The midfielder played in every Championship match for the Reds last season, making 46 appearances and scoring four goals.

If Osborn did depart it could help Forest raise funds, as Karanka looks to invest this summer.

The Spanish boss is expected to make major changes at the City Ground this summer, with a number of potential new arrivals already linked.
