RUMOUR:

There's still a lot of talk about Rico Lewis (20) to Forest.

We are willing to double Rico Lewis's wages to sign the Manchester ace, talkSPORT understands.

He's a right back/ MF and has 5 senior England caps. Don't forget that Aina can play LB if needed.

For me, if we can afford it, this would be a MASSIVE signing. 40 appearances for Man City last season. If you can get in their team, you are good. Another young England international.

Will it happen? Well, the number 2 squad number is still available and Nuno is moaning that we still need full backs, which looks like the biggest hole in the squad to me as well.

It.

Also on the subject of full-backs, there is no Kostas Tsimikas in Liverpool's team for Bournemouth Prem opening match tonight.

Tsimikas has been a target for Forest's squad-hole at left back. Tsimikas knows Marinakis and used to play for Olympiacos. Experienced player.

Even if he doesn't come, it shows the level of ambition we have now. ?.

I didn't know Rico Lewis plays left-back as well as right back and further forward. No wonder they want him.

I'd be worried about my place if I was Williams if we get this kid.

Dilane Bakwa can play on both flanks as well but doesn't have the Prem experience.

And Rico can play DM. Sign him and that's cover for 3 positions.

He looked great the few times I've seen him play. You have to have an amazing squad to be willing to sell players like that.

Rico Lewis not good enough to play for us. Neco has been one of the best full backs in the league for the last 2 seasons. Do not want us signing a bum like Rico Lewis and compromising Necos game time.
I’d have ben chilwell though.
