Nottingham Forest have reportedly joined the race for AC Milan left-back Fode Ballo-Toure.
The 25-year-old is said to be attracting plenty of interest this summer, with the Reds said to have joined OGC Nice and Galatasaray in pursuit of his signature. He is yet to make an appearance in Serie A this season after falling out of favour under Stefano Pioli, as he competes with Theo Hernandez for a spot.
According to Foot Mercato, the Senegal international is hopeful of making it into the World Cup squad and, therefore, is in search of regular game time. The Italian outfit are reportedly prepared to let him leave for a €5million (£4.2m) fee.

Galatasary, who have reportedly been "pressing for days", are said to not have convinced either Milan or the player himself. Meanwhile, both France and England are believed to be welcome destinations for the 25-year-old.
It also reads that "new contacts are planned in the coming hours". He made the €5m switch from AS Monaco last season, and has gone on to make just 12 appearances, struggling to cement a place in the starting team.
