Nottingham Forest hope to seal a cut-price deal for Juventus wingers Timothy Weah and Samuel Mbangula amid continued interest from Newcastle in Anthony Elanga.
With Newcastle pushing for Elanga and able to offer Champions League football, Forest may need reinforcements in wide areas and believe they can sign both Mbangula and Weah for less than £20m combined.
The relatively low price is thought to be due to Juventus’ need to raise funds to rebuild their squad, with former Tottenham and Liverpool chief Damien Comolli now in charge of transfers.
Forest are likely to sell at least one key player this summer and with Manchester City appearing to have cooled their interest in Morgan Gibbs-White, Newcastle believe they have a chance of landing Elanga this summer.
The former Manchester United winger is valued at about £60m.
Meanwhile, Neco Williams is set to sign a new four-year deal at the City Ground, elevating him closer to the top pay bracket at the club.

Forest also hope to agree a deal for Brazilian forward Igor Jesus once his club, Botafogo, have completed their Club World Cup campaign.
They face fellow Brazilian side Palmeiras in the last 16.
