Your Nottingham Forest headlines on Thursday, May 18.

£100m action

Nottingham Forest will reportedly sue Everton for £100m if the Reds are relegated from the Premier League this season and the Toffees survive.

The 22-year-old has impressed during a loan spell this season at the Stags where he scored nine goals in 33 appearances. Swan was an academy graduate at Forest where he made two first-team appearances.

His performances for Nigel Clough's team put them on the verge of the League Two play-offs before missing out by just a single point on the final day of the season despite beating Colchester United.
