Nottingham Forest have reportedly leapfrogged Inter Milan and AC Milan in the race for Hellas Verona star Jackson Tchatchoua.
According to L’Arena via FCInterNews, the Tricky Trees are in pole position to sign the 23-year-old.
Despite Inter’s long-term interest in the Frenchman, their indecisiveness could return to haunt them.
Indeed, they have put their pursuit of Tchatchoua on hold until they resolve the future of Denzel Dumfries.
Nottingham Forest could take advantage of the situation to lure the wingback to the Premier League.
Hellas Verona had slapped a €10 million price tag on Jackson Tchatchoua.
However, the young defender’s stock looks destined to rise after several clubs entered the picture.
Furthermore, Nuno Espirito Santo’s men have already surpassed this figure.
Indeed, Forest’s initial bid could do the trick, which would see Inter miss out on Tchatchoua’s signature.
Yet, the club considers Dumfries’ predicament far more significant.
Therefore, they’re prioritizing keeping hold of the Dutch ace over any other incoming deal.
