Nottingham Forest have opened talks with Premier League champions Chelsea over a possible loan deal for young defender Michael Hector, according to a report on the Derby Telegraph.
The Championship club are said to be holding talks with the Blues over a season long loan for the 24-year-old.
Hector has gained interest from numerous clubs after spending the whole of last season on loan at German Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt, where his performances gained many plaudits and increased interest in him.
The defender helped the German side to a mid-table finish and the DFB Pokal final. Hector was considered one of their key defenders throughout the campaign.
The towering defender began his career at Reading before moving to Chelsea in 2015.
The Jamaican has made 12 appearances for his international side and was included in their 2015 Copa America squad.
Hector currently has three years left on his deal at Stamford Bridge, but he is still awaiting his chance for a first-team appearance.
His lack of chances in the first team at Stamford Bride means that a move to Forest will be good for his career as he can get valuable game time under his belt as well as establishing himself in English football.
