Notitngham Forest are busy reshaping a squad they hope can challenge for promotion this season.

Sabri Lamouchi’s side have just done a double deal with Benfica for Yuri Ribeiro and Alfa Semedo, but they need proven Championship quality too.

One player who could be a game changer, and is realistic, is former Benfica talent Ivan Cavaleiro.

Cavaleiro played a key part in Wolves winning promotion to the Premier League in 2017/18.

Now establishing themselves in the top flight, Cavaleiro could be surplus to requirements.

The Express and Star reported last month Wolves were open to offers for Cavaleiro and Helder Costa.

Costa has been loaned to Leeds, while Cavaleiro is available. Wolves Bite reported Derby County are keen on Cavaleiro.

Forest need to make their own case to sign the Portuguese forward.
