Nottingham Forest are reportedly interested in signing Ghana international Andre Ayew on a free transfer.
The attacker is a free agent after settling his contract with Qatari club Al-Sadd and is keen on a return to the Premier League.
Struggling Premier League side Everton were thought to be in the lead for his signature. However, Matchplug understands that Nottingham Forest have now joined the race for his services.
The Tricky Trees were active in the January transfer window, with defender Felipe from Atletico Madrid, goalkeeper Keylor Navas from Paris St Germain and midfielder Jonjo Shelvey from Newcastle, Chris Wood, Danilo and Gustavo Scarpa all joining last month.
But they now want to add Ayew, who can still be registered outside the transfer window due to his status as a free agent. The 33-year-old is familiar with Forest boss Steve Cooper as both men worked together at Swansea.

Cooper wants to improve his attacking options as he is without Taiwo Awoniyi due to injury. In addition, the recent injury to Morgan Gibbs-White and the poor form of Jesse Lingard has also led to a space opening in the attack.
Ayew has experience at the top level and can play anywhere across the front three. His addition will significantly help Forest, who are fighting hard to secure their top-flight status this season.
