Nottingham Forest in three-way transfer battle for next Brazilian signing

Nottingham Forest are one of three Premier League clubs with an interest in signing Brazilian winger Tête, according to reports.

The 22-year-old is said to be targeting a move to the English top flight this month, with the Reds among the clubs showing a strong interest in the Lyon player, who has scored six times in 17 games, claims the Daily Mail.

Tête is currently on loan from Shakhtar Donetsk but is thought to be available in this window if terms can be agreed with both the Ukrainian club and Lyon. The French club have the option of signing him permanently for £17.5million but it is not clear if they will activate it.

Forest's East Midlands rivals Leicester City have been heavily linked with a move for the player, while Everton are also said to be interested. He was also linked with Southampton last January.

After securing a new centre-forward in the shape of Chris Wood, Steve Cooper is on the hunt for a new wide attacker. The club have seemingly missed out on Arnaut Danjuma, who is on his way to Everton, while Toffees youngster Anthony Gordon has been linked with a move to the City Ground.

The Reds have already completed the signings of two Brazilian players in the January transfer window, with the arrivals of Gustavo Scarpa and Danilo. Compatriot Renan Lodi joined the club on loan from Atletico Madrid last summer.
