Esposito’s fine displays have attracted interest from Nottingham Forest, Leicester and 13 other clubs, according to FcInterNews.

 

From Italy, Bologna, Napoli, Lazio, Fiorentina, Cagliari, Parma, Como, Sassuolo, Torino, Lazio and Parma have all shown keen interest in the 20-year-old. Nottingham Forest, Leicester, FC Basel and Ajax are his four foreign suitors.

An I.O.U. a suitcase of used notes, a CD of Rudkin singing  Mr Blue Sky and a portrait of the Thai royal family should swing it.

This is the same story that did the rounds in January, similar to the re sharing of Oxlade Chamberlain the other day.

If we're going to place a bid then I hope we've asked Forest for permission first

[Claudio Fannieri]

I imagine if we did beat Forest to the signing their absolute whopper of an owner would put some sort of complaint or legal challenge to stop us. Guy is a complete and utter helmet and for some reason the tree shaggers seen to defend him to the hilt, deluded feckwits
