Nottingham Forest are reportedly 'not close' to reaching an agreement with Tottenham Hotspur to sign either Sergio Reguilón or Japhet Tanganga amid links to the pair of defenders.
Neither have featured for Spurs so far this season under head coach Antonio Conte, with Reguilón yet to feature in a matchday squad and Tanganga only an unused substitute for the previous two Premier League fixtures against Chelsea and Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Reds are being linked with a host of defenders due to injuries suffered by summer signings Moussa Niakhaté and Omar Richards already since arriving.
Any move for Spain international Reguilón is said to be on a temporary basis with Forest 'exploring a loan' but Italian outfits Atalanta and Lazio as well as Villarreal in his homeland are also apparently keen. Tanganga is also reportedly attracting interest from Italy, with AC Milan and Napoli linked as are Forest's fellow newly promoted side Bournemouth.

Summer signing number 17 doesn't look set to be either of these options, though, as transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano has offered an update urging patience. An agreement for Tanganga, it is claimed, is 'not close' as Milan are 'still pushing to sign him' so will 'take time'.
Cold water has also been poured on the idea of Reguilón pulling on a Garibaldi shirt at this stage of the summer too. Romano claims the player currently has 'different priorities' and nothing is 'close or agreed' on the transfer front.
