Lincoln City have won the race to sign Nottingham Forest striker Tyler Walker on loan, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.

A number of Football League clubs have expressed an interest in taking Walker on loan for this season, but Lincoln are poised to secure his coveted signature.

Walker enjoyed last season on loan in League Two at Mansfield, scoring 26 goals as the Stags reached the play-off semi-finals.

The 22-year-old has played for Forest in pre-season, but he is unlikely to feature too much in the first-team this season as he is down the pecking order in Sabri Lamouchi’s plans.

Forest feel Walker will benefit by going out on loan to continue his development before returning to the City Ground to challenge for a spot in the first-team.

Lincoln boss Danny Cowley has been looking to bring in a new striker to bolster his attacking ranks and Walker will help fill that void.
