Nottingham Forest are considering a move to recruit Alex Moreno on loan from Aston Villa.
Villa have three senior left-backs — including Lucas Digne and new arrival Ian Maatsen — which creates a chance for clubs to sign Moreno.
Forest are looking into a season-long deal for the Spaniard and Villa are aware of their admiration, while Moreno is weighing up his options.
The East Midlands side have a small number of possibilities for the position, with the 31-year-old prominent among them owing to his pedigree and availability.
There is also interest from the likes of Besiktas, Galatasaray, Nice, Real Betis and Villarreal.
Moreno joined Villa from Betis in January 2023 and established himself as an important member of a team that came fourth in the Premier League last season to qualify for the Champions League.
He has made 48 appearances under Unai Emery but given Digne is expected to stay and Maatsen recently arrived, suitors have an opportunity to prise Moreno away from Villa Park before the transfer window closes on September 30.
