Everton’s Brendan Galloway has been linked with a move to Nottingham Forest in the summer transfer window.

According to The Daily Mail, Nottingham Forest are interested in signing Brendan Galloway from Everton in the summer transfer window.

Galloway is only 21 years of age and can operate as a centre-back or as a left-back. The youngster was on loan at West Bromwich Albion last season, but he failed to make an impact.

The England Under-21 international was able to make only three league appearances for the Baggies last season, and it seems that he is still getting used to the pace and the rigours of the Premier League.

However, Galloway would be worth a punt for Forest, who will feature in the Championship next season after narrowly avoiding relegation to League One at the end of the 2016-17 campaign.

The departure of Daniel Pinillos means that the Reds need a left-back for the 2017-18 campaign, and the talented and promising Galloway would be the 24-year-old’s perfect replacement.

The youngster’s ability to play as a central defender or as a left-back would also be beneficial to Forest manager Mark Warburton.

Galloway is not going to get much playing time at Everton next season, and it would make sense for both the Toffees and the player to make the switch to Forest in the summer transfer window on a loan deal.
