Nottingham Forest boss Aitor Karanka has confirmed that West Ham United defender Sam Byram is a possible signing for the club.

The Championship outfit have made 11 first-team additions during the summer transfer window but remain short at right-back.

Byram could be allowed to leave the London Stadium on loan during August, and Karanka has admitted that the 24-year-old is on the club's radar.

At a press conference, the Spaniard told reporters: "He is one on the list. He is a West Ham player and we are not in a hurry. We have another few days to try to buy someone and another two or three weeks to try and bring someone in on loan.

"We have been working since May to try to build a good squad and we will bring in the right one."

Forest started their second-tier campaign with a 1-1 draw away at Bristol City on Saturday.
