Nottingham Forest to bid for Norwich City defender Daniel Ayala?

Nottingham Forest said to be interested in signing Norwich City defender Daniel Ayala as they continue to build for the new Championship season.

Forest want to bring the Spanish centre-back to the City Ground on a season-long loan with a view to a permanent transfer, according to reports.

The 21-year-old is already experienced at Championship level, playing for Hull City and Derby County in England's second tier.

New manager Sean O'Driscoll has wasted no time in trying to make defensive improvements at Forest, signing Danny Collins, Greg Halford and Dan Harding this summer.
