Nottingham Forest have been linked with a summer move for Tranmere Rovers winger Corey Blackett-Taylor.
The 22-year-old, who can play on either flank, was one of Rovers’ shining lights during a season which ultimately saw them relegated to League Two after the campaign was halted due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Forest, according to Football Insider, are keen on the former Aston Villa man along with Scottish side Celtic and are looking to do a deal in the transfer window ahead of the new season.
Birmingham-born Blackett-Taylor came through the ranks at Villa Park and was first named on the bench under Tim Sherwood in a League Cup with Notts County in 2015, though he didn’t get on the pitch.
He had to wait until the following March for his debut in a 1-0 defeat To Huddersfield, before leaving for Prenton Park in June last year via a short loan spell at Walsall.
In his 34 appearances for Rovers, Blackett-Taylor scored five goals and notched up six assists in his 34 outings for the club, picking up the Man of the Match award in the FA Cup third round clash replay win over Watford.
He then played against Manchester United in round four, as the Whites bowed out of the competition with a 6-0 home defeat.
