‘That would be an upgrade’ – Many Nottingham Forest fans react to potential swoop for 24-year-old | OneFootball

Nottingham Forest are reportedly interested in signing Shamrock Rovers midfielder Jack Byrne.

The Reds are likely to strengthen their squad in January, as they look to move away from the relegation zone and avoid being embroiled in a relegation battle.

According to Protathlima, Forest, Preston North End, Stoke City and APOEL Nicosia are interested in signing Jack Byrne, who has been in excellent form for Shamrock Rovers this term.

Byrne – who has previously played in the EFL for Blackburn, Wigan and Oldham – has scored 10 goals in 25 appearances this season, chipping in with eight assists from midfield.

The 24-year-old has made four appearances for the Republic of Ireland national side, too, and is out of contract next December.

Forest have lacked any real creativity from midfield since Joao Carvalho and Tiago Silva left the club in the summer for UD Almeria and Olympiacos respectively.

Miguel Guerrero has been tried there, as has Luke Freeman who is currently out injured due to a groin problem.
