Forest ready to 'try their luck' for £10m transfer
Nottingham Forest are said to be keen on promising teenager Etienne Camara ahead of the January transfer window.
The Reds are among a trio of Premier League sides credited with an interest in the Huddersfield Town midfielder, and it is claimed they could “try their luck” when the window reopens.

Forest man facing four-month injury heartache
Nottingham Forest right-back Fin Back is facing up to four months on the sidelines through injury.
The 20-year-old is currently on loan at League Two side Carlisle United, where he has played in 17 of 19 league games so far this season. After an impressive start to the season, the Forest youngster has received an unfortunate setback.
His loan club are awaiting the results of a second scan on his hamstring injury before confirming the amount of time he will be unavailable for. They fear it could be up to four months, ruling him out until the end of March.
‘Serious' Forest transfer interest detailed
Nottingham Forest reportedly considered trying to sign Sheffield United ace Iliman Ndiaye during the summer.
It was a busy transfer window for the Reds as they prepared for life in the Premier League. Owner Evangelos Marinakis sanctioned a significant spending spree which saw 22 signings made - albeit three of the new faces immediately went out on loan.
A number of players had headed in the opposite direction, leaving gaps to be filled, while head coach Steve Cooper also needed to strengthen in all areas ready for the step up in divisions. In addition to those who did put pen to paper, Forest had plenty of other targets and names on their radar for whom a move Trentside did not materialise, with Ndiaye said to be among them.
Evangelos Marinakis promise fulfilled
In the aftermath of the crucial 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace, Steve Cooper played down suggestions an improvement in Nottingham Forest’s fortunes could be tied to his new contract being signed.
It is difficult not to see a connection between the two, however. Since the certainty and stability which came with Cooper putting pen to paper, the Reds have lost just twice - one defeat coming against league leaders Arsenal and the other away to Wolverhampton Wanderers, which could easily have ended as a draw.
