Nottingham Forest are hopeful of signing Leeds ace Liam Bridcutt.

According to the Nottingham Post, Nottingham Forest are trying to sign Leeds United midfielder Liam Bridcutt.

Forest are hopeful of repeating their success to sign Rangers winger Barrie McKay, who had just one year left on his contract.

Bridcutt only signed a two-year deal when he moved to Leeds permanently from Sunderland last summer, meaning Forest are feeling like they may be able to tempt Leeds into a sale.

The central midfielder has not started a Championship game this season despite captaining the club in 2016/17.

Bridcutt had a terrific loan spell for Leeds in 2015/16 but did not really build on it after signing permanently, with Leeds looking better with Eunan O’Kane in the side.

Mark Warburton manager of Nottingham Forest looks on during the pre season friendly match between Nottingham Forest and Burnley at the City Ground on July 29, 2017 in Nottingham, England.

This season he has been out of favour with Leeds preferring academy talent Kalvin Phillips, while Polish international Mateusz Klich has been handed a chance.

Forest have had a strong start to the season under Mark Warburton, winning two games and losing one which has put them in fifth position.
