Manchester City defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis is emerging as a serious option for Nottingham Forest.

The Premier League club want to avoid another relegation dogfight this season.

Manager Steve Cooper wants to bolster his rearguard and sees Harwood-Bellis as a terrific option.

Per The Sun journalist Alan Nixon, Forest are ready to move for the England youngster.

They are prepared to put in a bid that is close to City's £15 million valuation of their young star.

The likes of Burnley, West Ham, Fulham and Leeds were all interested in Harwood-Bellis this summer.

However, the exorbitant figure City are demanding appears to have put them off.
