Nottingham Forest are reportedly keen on Everton’s Brendan Galloway.
According to the Daily Mail, Nottingham Forest are interested in taking Everton defender Brendan Galloway on loan ahead of the new Championship season.
Forest have made one new signing so far this summer, with striker Jason Cummings arriving from Hibernian as Mark Warburton enters his first transfer window as Forest manager.

Warburton has plenty of work to do having avoided relegation to League One on the final day of last season, and left back is one area that may need some attention.
Spaniard Daniel Pinillos hasn’t had his contract renewed, whilst Armand Traore started just nine Championship games last season, meaning Warburton should be looking for another option.
Now, the Daily Mail report that Forest are now interested in taking Everton left back Brendan Galloway on loan this summer, after his disappointing spell with West Bromwich Albion last season.
Galloway, 21, joined Everton from Milton Keynes Dons in 2014, and after making 19 appearances in the 2015-16 season, he was farmed out on loan to West Brom last term, where he played just five games.

The Zimbabwe-born England youth international certainly didn’t do enough to push Leighton Baines at Everton, meaning Ronald Koeman’s men may now choose to loan him out again this summer.
Forest could offer him an option, and he would surely play on a regular basis given Pinillos’ departure and Traore’s lack of football, making Warburton’s men an appealing prospect for Everton as they weigh up Galloway’s next move.
