Nottingham Forest in talks with Bournemouth striker Lewis Grabban?

Nottingham Forest are reportedly in talks with Bournemouth over the potential signing of Lewis Grabban.

Grabban has been out of favour at the Vitality Stadium since joining from Norwich City in 2016 and has struggled to nail down a starting place in Eddie Howe's side.

The Cherries have already signed Sheffield United forward David Brooks, meaning that there is even more competition for Grabban at the club next season.

According to Sky Sports News, Forest are close to signing the 30-year-old on a permanent deal for a fee of £5m.

Grabban scored 20 goals in 28 starts last season during loan spells at Sunderland and Aston Villa.
