Brice Samba emerges as a target for French side Nantes after 'refusing to sign a new contract at Nottingham Forest'... with play-off semi-final hero 'wanting to leave Premier League newcomers this summer'

Nottingham Forest keeper Brice Samba is a target for French side Nantes this summer.

The Congolese goalkeeper was instrumental as Steve Cooper's side were promoted to the Premier League last month, including three saves in the play-off semi-final penalty shoot-out against Sheffield United.

But reports in The Athletic last week claimed the 28-year-old is refusing to sign fresh terms at the City Ground and wants to leave this summer because he feels undervalued and underappreciated.

His stance has handed Forest a decision to make in the next few months as to whether they should keep or sell him, with Samba about to enter the final 12 months of his current deal.
