The most recent transfer news regarding Nottingham Forest, as Steve Cooper’s Reds approach the January transfer window
Borna Barisic, a defender for Rangers, is apparently still of interest to Nottingham Forest. In the summer, the 30-year-old was linked to the Reds as they sought to bolster their squad following their Premier League survival.
