Negotiations between Arsenal and Nottingham Forest over a deal for Nuno Tavares are becoming increasingly 'complicated', according to reports.
Steve Cooper's side had expressed an interest in signing the Gunners left-back earlier this week.
It comes as the Tricky Trees have also tabled a £30million offer to sign Monaco midfielder Youssouf Fofana this week.
They are also hoping to land Tavares, who seems to no longer be in Mikel Arteta's immediate plans for the season having spent the 2022-23 campaign out on loan with Marseille.
But according to Fabrizio Romano, negotiations to sign the Portugal U21 are 'not easy' and have been 'getting more complicated'.
