Nottingham Forest hope to seal a cut-price deal for Juventus wingers Timothy Weah and Samuel Mbangula amid continued interest from Newcastle in Anthony Elanga.
With Newcastle pushing for Elanga and able to offer Champions League football, Forest may need reinforcements in wide areas and believe they can sign both Mbangula and Weah for less than £20m combined.
The relatively low price is thought to be due to Juventus’ need to raise funds to rebuild their squad, with former Tottenham and Liverpool chief Damien Comolli now in charge of transfers.
