Nottingham Forest have made a bid to sign PSV Eindhover winger Cody Gakpo, according to reports.
The 23-year-old joined PSV in 2018 and made a name for himself last season, recording 21 goals in 46 appearances in all competitions while providing 15 assists. He claimed the Dutch Footballer of the Year award last year.
The Reds who face competition from Arsenal, Manchester United and Leeds, have reportedly made the most progress by submitting an offer. While the offer has not been disclosed, Football.London understands that around £30million could be enough to prise the player away.

While the Gunners have apparently remained in contact with PSV throughout the window, nothing concrete appears to have been discussed.
Amid interest from other clubs, the 23-year-old said: "I try to stay focused on what I am doing now and finishing the season really well, then after that I can focus on something else.
"If I can make a step to a team who plays in the Champions League every season, of course it is my dream. But I still have a contract and there is a new coach coming in — but maybe there comes a club I cannot say no to.
"Maybe they won’t come and I have to stay but for now I just want to keep working on this season."
Gakpo is still under contract until 2026 at the Philips Stadion.
