Nottingham Forest have been joined by two Premier League rivals in their interest of Tottenham Hotspur defender Joe Rodon.
The 24-year-old defender has been identified as a transfer target in order to bolster the Reds' central options at the City Ground.
According to transfers expert Ekrem Konur, however, the Reds will be rivaled by Fulham and Wolves in wanting to sign the Wales international.

Central defence is one of Steve Cooper's priorities this summer - along with central midfield, out-wide in midfield and defence, as well as up-front. Following the expiry of Tobias Figueiredo's contract, the Reds are left with just Joe Worrall and Scott McKenna as senior options.
Loic Mbe Soh and Jonathan Panzo are alternatives, although they have been limited in their first-team opportunities.
The Welsh international has made only 15 appearances for the Premier League side since his October 2020 transfer from Swansea City. Forest could benefit from the good working relationship between Rodon and Reds boss Cooper - the pair worked together whilst at Swansea City.
Rodon - who is "certainly" a target for the Reds - has been backed for great success by Wales superstar Gareth Bale as well as national team head coach Robert Page.
Bale, who himself has been briefly linked with a move to the City Ground, said: "For me he [Rodon] should be playing at Tottenham, he's shown time and again how good he is. He's a top professional, a great young player, he knows himself he needs to be playing week in week out and he wants to be playing week in week out.
"I don't think he's had the opportunity to play a consistent run of games for Tottenham, I think if he did he'd be fantastic for them. Even if he has to go to another team he will strengthen them, no matter who they are."
Page added: "I think Joe's been outstanding, what he's done for us in a couple games has been exceptional considering he's not playing at club level.
"I think he can go to another level, he's been very good, but I think there's more to come from him. He can achieve that by playing week in week out at domestic level, he's a Premier League player. He's got all the attributes, he just needs to be playing week in week out to sustain the level he gives for us."
