Steve Cooper makes out of favour Tottenham defender Joe Rodon and Wolves attacker Morgan Gibbs-White his two key targets as he hopes to link up with both again for Nottingham Forest's Premier League return

Steve Cooper has made Joe Rodon and Morgan Gibbs-White two key targets as he prepares Nottingham Forest for their Premier League return.

The Forest boss has worked with both players – Rodon at Swansea, Gibbs-White while in charge of England’s 2017 World Cup-winning Under-17 team – and regards them highly.

He also had Gibbs-White, the Wolves attacker, on loan at Swansea for the first half of the 2020-21 campaign.

Wales centre-back Rodon joined Tottenham from Swansea for about £11million nearly two years ago but he has struggled to nail down a regular place, making 22 Premier League appearances in that time.
