Nottingham Forest have revived their interest in Real Betis left-back Alex Moreno.
Forest want cover after losing Omar Richards to injury and saw an approach for Red Bull Leipzig full-back Angelino founder at the weekend as he opted to join Hoffenheim.
A deal for Moreno had been hindered by rising costs in the deal but Steve Cooper’s side hope to pay around £9million for the 29-year old and push through a medical this week to make him their 13th summer signing.

Forest manager Steve Cooper is still looking to add to his squad after 12 new signings so far
Harry Toffolo played at left-wing-back in Forest’s 2-0 defeat to Newcastle in their first game back in the Premier League, whilst midfielder Jack Colback was a regular in that position in their promotion campaign last season.
Forest have had to almost start from scratch with so many departures from last season’s squad, including star players Djed Spence and Bice Samba, who joined Tottenham and Lens respectively.
Cooper has asked for patience whilst his new squad gels, but Forest are far from done in the window.
Moreno has scored six goals in 103 appearances for Betis since joining the club in 2019

Forest, who have appointed former Newcastle chief executive Lee Charnley as a consultant, still want to add two midfielders and a forward to their ranks.
Talks for Atalanta’s Remo Freuler have been back and forth but the deal has currently stalled.
Manchester United’s James Garner remains an active target, as does Wolves’ Morgan Gibbs-White.

Wolves’ attacking midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White is high on the list of targets for Forest
They have already been in contact with Wolves, who have rejected the Premier League new boys’ approaches for Gibbs-White.
The 22-year-old, who has been a regular for England at under-21 level, has made 66 appearances for Wolves in the past five years after coming through the youth system at the West Midlands club.
Forest have already spent £85million on their 12 new signings as they look to solidify themselves as a top flight club once again.
