Report: Nottingham Forest want to sign Matej Vydra from Watford

Nottingham Forest are reportedly interested in Watford striker Matej Vydra.

The Reds are looking to bolster their attacking options, with Britt Assombalonga sidelined for several months with a serious knee injury and Matty Fryatt a few weeks away from returning.

Vydra, who bagged 16 goals to help Watford win promotion from the Championship last season, has not featured in any of the Hornets' Premier League fixtures so far.

The 23-year-old rejoined the Hertfordshire outfit last summer after spending a year at West Bromwich Albion.

According to Sky Sports News, Forest have asked about Vydra's availability and the offer of a season-long deal has not been rejected by Watford.

Vydra has scored 38 goals in 92 appearances across his two spells with Watford.
