Strengthening at fullback is a priority for the Reds before next Monday's deadline. They have a number of potential targets in their sights to provide competition on the left and right side of defence, with Kristiansen being one.

Forest have brought in eight new additions so far this summer. However, they still have some work to do to put the finishing touches to Nuno Espirito Santo's squad before the window closes.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, negotiations are progressing to bring Kristiansen to the City Ground. The 22-year-old Denmark international is one of several players being eyed by the Reds.

Romano posted on X:

"Nottingham Forest are in club to club talks with Leicester City for Viktor Kristiansen. Deal on as exclusively revealed in July and now in progress."

The Athletic have identified Club Brugge's Joaquin Seys as another option for Forest at left-back.

Atletico Madrid's Nahuel Molina and RB Leipzig's Lutsharel Geertruida are on the club's wanted list at right-back.
