Nottingham Forest are reportedly considering making a permanent move for Benfica loanee Filip Krovinovic.

The Croatian arrived at the City Ground on loan from Benfica in January, having spent the last season-and-a-half at West Bromwich Albion.

The midfielder has since established himself as a key player under Chris Hughton, making 12 appearances in the Championship and scoring his first goal for the club in a 1-1 draw with Brentford before the international break.

Krovinovic's future at Benfica looks uncertain, though. The 25-year-old is entering the final year of his contract in Portugal, and the club may look to cash in this summer rather than potentially lose him for nothing next summer.

According to A Bola - via Sport Witness - Forest are contemplating a permanent deal for Krovinovic, however talks are not said to have opened just yet.

Krovinovic has gone about his work quietly since joining the Reds. He may have scored only one goal and failed to register an assist, but his performances have generally been quite impressive and consistent too.
