Lyon have rejected an undisclosed bid from Nottingham Forest for attacking-midfielder Houssem Aouar, according to reports.
The French international has been linked with a move away from the Ligue 1 side for the third consecutive summer, and French outlet L'Equipe are reporting that the player is open to a move to the Premier League.
And although Steve Cooper's newly-promoted side have already submitted an offer for the 24-year-old, they may face competition from Leicester, according to Foot Mercato.
