Nottingham Forest are facing competition in the race to sign Manchester City youngster Issa Kabore.

The 21-year-old is emerging as a replacement for Djed Spence at Forest, who is back at Middlesbrough after the end of his loan spell.

Kabore has impressed scouts during his loan spell at Ligue 1 side Troyes.

According to NottinghamshireLive, Forest are in talks for the player with City.

However, they are not the only club, as Nice in Ligue 1 are also interested.

Several other Premier League clubs are also following Kabore's situation.
