Fresh transfer twist raises doubts over Anthony Knockaert's Nottingham Forest future

Nottingham Forest could face a battle to hold on to loanee Anthony Knockaert.

The French winger played the final game of his initial loan spell from Fulham in Saturday’s 1-0 win at Preston North End.

His loan is officially due to expire on Thursday and Knockaert is continuing to train with the Reds ahead of Saturday’s FA Cup third round tie against Cardiff City.

It is thought Forest are keen to extend the former Brighton player’s loan.

However, according to Daniel Taylor of The Athletic, an unnamed club from abroad are keen to take Knockaert on loan.

Taylor tweeted: “Forest are trying to do another loan - but there's another club (non-UK) also interested too.

“Fulham spent a lot of money on him - too much, to be honest - so want to get as much as possible back, ultimately.”

It is reported Forest have an option to buy Knockaert, although it is unlikely they will take up that option this month.
