Tosin Kehinde has reportedly found a new club, after holding initial talks with a string of Championship clubs – including Derby County and Nottingham Forest – last month.

All Nigeria Soccer claimed both Derby and Forest – along with Queens Park Rangers, Brentford and Reading – made contact with the midfielder ahead of his contract expiring at Manchester United.

The website added, however, that the quintet had baulked at United’s request for a £500,000 compensation pay-out.

And, according to the Manchester Evening News, Kehinde has now signed a four-year deal with CD Feirense, although the Portuguese top flight side are yet to confirm the 20-year-old’s arrival.

Both Derby and Nottingham Forest have added to their midfield options since then, however, with Derby landing George Evans from Reading and Forest recruiting Joao Carvalho and Jack Colback from Benfica and Newcastle United respectively.

Should Kehinde’s move go ahead, he would replace another Nigerian, Stoke City’s Oghenekaro Peter Etebo at the Estadio Marcolino de Castro.

Would Kehinde have been a good addition for Derby or Nottingham Forest?
