According to a report from Polish outlet Gol 24, Nottingham Forest have invited 16-year-old forward Krzysztof Toporkiewicz for a trial with the Championship club this week.

Toporkiewicz is currently on AKS SMS Lodz’s books and recently made his debut for Poland’s under-17 side. Gol 24 reports that a representative from Forest was at a recent game and they are ready to have a closer look at the teenager.

According to the report, Toporkiewicz has been invited for a trial at the City Ground and is set to arrive in England this week as Forest seemingly decide whether to offer the forward a contract.

One thing that Forest have not struggled to do in recent years is bring talented youngsters through their system and take them all the way into their first-team.

This season, Aitor Karanka has a handful of academy graduates within his ranks, with the likes of Ben Osborn and Matty Cash establishing themselves as key members of the squad under the Spaniard.

Of course, Toporkiewicz needs to earn a contract before he can even think about becoming the latest prospect to make his way through the ranks. But if he has several options to pick from in the near future and joining Forest is one of them, he must not overlook how the club have made sure that there is a pathway there for their youngsters.
