Nottingham Forest have reportedly targeted Lille striker Michael Frey as a potential loan signing who could help boost their attacking options.

The 21-year-old only joined the French outfit last summer from BSC Young Boys and has since gone on to score eight goals in 33 appearances for the Ligue 1 side.

Reports are suggesting that the Championship club are in talks with Lille over the possibility of acquiring the Swiss forward on a season-long loan, according to Shoot.co.uk.

Forest manager Dougie Freedman lost star striker Britt Assombalonga through injury and will be looking to replace the forward for the time being.
