The defender made just eight appearances last campaign for Cardiff as a hamstring injury all but ruined Osei-Tutu’s season for the Welsh side.

Whilst Jenkinson has failed to make any impression at Forest, Osei-Tutu could be a different story for Chris Hughton’s side. The defender impressed whilst with VfL Bochum two years ago on loan.
