Nottingham Forest transfer news: Tricky Trees interested in Leicester City defender?

Nottingham Forest are reportedly interested in signing Leicester City defender Victor Kristiansen this summer.

The 22-year-old has failed to feature for the Foxes at the beginning of the 2025-26 campaign owing to a muscle injury sustained in early August.

As a result, Kristiansen has been forced to watch his Leicester teammates commence their promotion push in the Championship.

When the East Midlands club were previously battling away in the second tier under Enzo Maresca in 2023-24, the Dane spent the season on loan at Bologna in Serie A.

Kristiansen returned to the King Power Stadium last summer and featured 30 times in the Premier League, providing a single assist.

Nottingham Forest want Leicester man?

According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano. Leicester defender Kristiansen could be handed a top-tier lifeline at the end of this transfer window.

The report claims that Europa League-competing Nottingham Forest are interested in securing the services of the 22-year-old.

It is understood that the Foxes and the Tricky Trees have entered club-to-club talks over the potential transfer of the player across the East Midlands.

Nuno Espirito Santo's troops have been targeting a swoop for the talents of the 18-time international since July.

Leicester are next in action at the King Power Stadium on Friday night, when promotion rivals Birmingham City visit in the Championship.

Leicester losing stars

As is often the case for clubs after relegation, Leicester City are losing some of their highest-profile players during this trading point.

First-choice goalkeeper Mads Hermansen secured a £20m move to West Ham United, conceding five during his maiden outing for the Hammers.

Most recently, the Foxes have waved goodbye to the services of Kasey McAteer and James Justin, who have switched to Ipswich Town and Leeds United respectively.
