Nottingham Forest hold talks over move for ex-Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi... with Fenerbahce holding out for £8m as transfer deadline approaches

Nottingham Forest are in talks over a deal for Fenerbahce striker Michy Batshuayi.

The 29-year-old almost joined Forest a year ago from Chelsea on a complicated free transfer only for the deal to fall through late on deadline day.

He moved to Turkey for £3million but Forest have maintained their interest.

Although his time in England with Chelsea and on loan at Crystal Palace was not viewed as a success, the Belgium international scored 20 goals for Fenerbahce last season and has scored two so far this term.
