Nottingham Forest have reportedly identified Bournemouth defender Tyrone Mings as a potential transfer target.

The East Midlands outfit are targeting promotion from the Championship during the upcoming campaign and have already made nine first-team signings during the summer window.

According to The Mirror, Mings is another player who is on the radar of Aitor Karanka, and Bournemouth may be open to doing a deal.

Mings was one of Bournemouth's first signings when the Cherries earned promotion to the Premier League in 2015, but injury has restricted the 25-year-old to just 12 top-flight appearances.

Two of those outings came towards the end of the last campaign, but it has been suggested that Eddie Howe is prepared to part ways with the Englishman.
