Nottingham Forest 'in talks' over 17th summer signing after Steve Cooper gives Moussa Niakhate update

Nottingham Forest are reportedly in talks with Wolves over signing centre-back Willy Boly.

Steve Cooper is in the market to add another centre-back to his squad after revealing that summer arrival Moussa Niakhate will be out of action for months. And the Reds have moved quickly to cover the defender by opening talks with Wolves for Boly.

Telegraph reporter John Percy wrote on Twitter: "#nffc are in talks with #Wolves over a possible deal for centre-half Willy Boly. Opening offer of around £1m rejected, talks ongoing though nothing believed to be imminent as Wolves will try to sign a replacement. Forest moved for Boly after the injury to Moussa Niakhate,"

Boly has been an unused substitute for Bruno Lage in both of Wolves' opening games of the new season after he made just 10 Premier League appearances last term. Boly has a wealth of top-flight experience and has made a total of 89 Premier League appearances.

Forest have started their new season with a win, a draw and a defeat after the first three games to the new campaign. Cooper's side were denied all three points at Goodison Park this afternoon as Demarai Gray struck late to deny Brennan Johnson a winner.
