Nottingham Forest are in need of a new goalkeeper, with Stefanos Kapino set to depart the City Ground.

According to a report on the Nottingham Post, Nottingham Forest are set to step up their efforts to sign Luke Steele now.

Forest have been tracking Steele for a considerable amount of time, but are yet to agree a deal for the free agent stopper.

However, with Stefanos Kapino set to depart, Forest are now set to go back for Steele.

Aitor Karanka’s side want to have a transfer tied up in the near future, with the Reds prepared to increase their efforts to bring the 33-year-old to the City Ground.

Steele has become a free agent, after his contract with Bristol City expired last season.

If Steele joins Forest he looks likely to play a back-up role for Karanka’s men.

Forest already have Costel Pantilimon in their ranks, and the Romanian stopper looks almost certain to begin the upcoming campaign as the Reds’ number one.

Forest begin their season with a match against Steele’s old side Bristol City on Saturday.
