Nottingham Forest are interested in signing Tottenham Hotspur forgotten man Ryan Sessegnon, it has been claimed.
The 23-year-old faces uncertainty at Spurs after struggling to cement a regular place in the team, which has led to playing just 56 times in four years. New boss Ange Postecoglou is set to make a decision ahead of the new season.
Sessegnon played a total of 17 games last season before suffering a hamstring injury which saw him miss a total of 15 games. Steve Cooper, meanwhile, is said to be an admirer of Sessegnon from his time representing England under-21s.
According to The Sun, Spurs may be open to the idea of selling the midfielder or loan him out. The report adds that the Reds are "first in the queue" for his signature.

Cooper is keen to reinforce his midfield with new additions, as a number of players are expected to depart. Jack Colback departed at the end of last season, while Jonjo Shelvey's future could also be away from the City Ground.
Sessegnon, meanwhile, has been highly praised by former Spurs boss Antonio Conte. "About Sess, we are talking about now a young player but a reliable player who I can count on for games in the Premier League or Champions League, for every game," Conte said.
"He improved a lot and I remember very well since I arrived Sessegnon was another player. Now he is a reliable player and he has great confidence. He is strong physically and improved in his quality and technically.
"We are talking about a really good player, a young player that can become stronger but this is the difference between the other young players. We are talking about a player who played many games and is reliable for every game, he is ready."
