Fulham have emerged as favourites to sign Nottingham Forest defender Matty Cash, with the London side hopeful of completing a deal for the full-back.

Cash is a player in serious demand on the back of a remarkable individual campaign for Forest, in a season where he was crowned the club's Player of the Season.

The 23-year-old was converted into a right-back in pre-season following an injury to Tendayi Darikwa, and he has since established himself as one of the country's best up and coming players in that position.

After Forest's failure to secure a top-six finish and win promotion to the Premier League, plenty of top-flight sides are taking an interest in the full-back.

Sheffield United are reportedly willing to offer £4m plus two players for Cash, whilst Forest are set to hold out for around £15m for their star player.

Now, the Telegraph claim that Fulham have emerged as favourites to sign Cash, with the Cottagers hopeful of completing a deal which would see them offer £10m plus one player for the defender.

Cash signed a new long-term deal at the City Ground back in November, tying him down until the summer of 2023.

The Verdict

This would certainly be an interesting deal for Forest and for Fulham.

Cash is probably worth at least £15m, and whilst £10m may be a good offer for him, it all depends on which player Forest can get in return.

I don't really like the idea of clubs offering fringe players to other clubs as there must be a reason as to why they are out of favour, so Forest need to be careful here.
