Manager comments on Nottingham Forest transfer after brilliant loan spell

Nottingham Forest striker Lyle Taylor could "possibly" sign for Birmingham City this summer, Blues boss John Eustace has confirmed.

Taylor spent the second half of last season on loan at Blues, scoring five goals across 14 appearances for the Blues, endearing himself to their supporters.

The striker has fallen down the pecking order at the City Ground following the arrivals of Emmanuel Dennis and Taiwo Awoniyi in the summer transfer window. He is now free to leave the Reds and will be looking to seal his exit before the transfer deadline on September 1.

Journalist Darren Witcop has since confirmed that Taylor will be allowed to leave City Ground at the end of the season, tweeting: "Nottingham Forest striker Lyle Taylor, who is down the pecking order at the City Ground, is free to leave before the transfer window closes. #nffc."

Speaking to BirminghamLive, Eustace was questioned regarding the possibility of another move for the Forest striker and said: "Yeah maybe, but you know that's up to the club to go and explore.

"He obviously did very well last season when he was here. We know he's a very good Championship player so yeah, possibly."
