After an impressive start to the Premier League season, Nottingham Forest are reportedly exploring the transfer market for affordable reinforcements to bolster their push for European football.The East Midlands side head into the busy festive period sitting fourth in the table, holding a narrow one-point lead over an out-of-form Manchester City, who trail in fifth.Forest, of course, are no strangers to European success. Their storied history includes two European Cup triumphs under legendary manager Brian Clough, achievements that remain the pinnacle of the club’s golden era.This season, Nuno Espirito Santo’s men have turned heads with their performances, including a landmark victory over league leaders Liverpool at Anfield – Liverpool’s only home defeat so far. Nuno will no doubt want to maintain the momentum built in the first half of the campaign. However, the addition of experience and squad depth in January could prove vital in sustaining their ambitions.Forest eye Victor Lindelof dealAccording to On The Minute, Forest have identified Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof as a potential January signing.The 30-year-old Swede recently returned from an injury suffered during international duty, where he often features alongside Forest’s rising star – and former United player – Anthony Elanga.Lindelof’s injuries have restricted him to just five Premier League appearances this season, none of which were starts. His last outing was a brief cameo in United’s derby win at the Etihad on Sunday, raising questions over his role in Erik ten Hag’s plans.With only six months left on his contract, Manchester United could look to offload the centre-back, signed for £31 million in 2017, to avoid losing him for free in the summer. This scenario would allow Forest to negotiate a cut-price deal to strengthen their squad for the crucial second half of the campaign.
