Nottingham Forest striker transfer stance revealed after Evangelos Marinakis link as duo ruled out

Nottingham Forest are not interested in signing Besiktas forward Cyle Larin this summer.

Larin, a Canada international, has been linked with a move to Forest following the Reds' promotion to the Premier League.

The Reds will compete in the top-flight for the first time in 23 years, but Larin is not seen as a target for Steve Cooper's recruitment team in their preparations for life in the Premier League.

Forest are keen to add another striker to their ranks this summer. Lyle Taylor and Sam Surridge are the only contracted options currently at the City Ground, whilst discussions are ongoing over a new contract for Lewis Grabban.

NottinghamshireLive understands though that Forest are not looking to sign Larin, who has seven goals and one assist to his name from 28 Super Lig appearances this term. Reports earlier today linked Forest - along with Evangelos Marinakis' other club, Olympiacos - with a move for the 27-year-old.

The Reds are understood to still be interested in Wolves forward Morgan Gibbs-White as well as Chelsea man Armando Broja. The pair, who could both be available for loan moves, are targets for the Reds as they prepare for the Premier League.

NottinghamshireLive also understands that Barnsley winger Callum Styles is no longer on the Reds' radar, whilst between the posts Franco Armani is not seen as an option this summer.

Who should Nottingham Forest prioritise signing up-front this summer? Let us know in the comments section below...
