Nottingham Forest and Wolves are reportedly going toe-to-toe as they race to complete a late midfield signing.
The Premier League duo have experienced very different starts to the season with Nottingham Forest flying high in seventh with four points to their name, while Wolves find themselves in the relegation zone after two successive defeats.
Both clubs are still active in the transfer market and have set their sights on signing a new midfielder.
Forest have already completed nine signings this summer – including midfield duo Elliot Anderson and Marko Stamenic, while Wolves secured a permanent deal for Tommy Doyle as one of their four signings so far.
Nottingham Forest and Wolves race for Andre
According to FootballTransfers, both Forest and Wolves are battling to sign Fluminense midfielder Andre.
Wolves have shown an interest in the 23-year-old throughout the summer but the report adds that Forest have now entered talks over a potential deal.
Fulham had shown an interest in Andre also, but a move to Craven Cottage has been ruled out after talks broke down.
A deal for Andre would reportedly be worth somewhere between €25 million and €30 million (£25million) if either Forest or Wolves advance their interest
