Nottingham Forest has entered into negotiations with French powerhouse Monaco

, aiming to secure the services of left-back Ismail Jakobs.

Monaco is open to the idea of parting ways with Jakobs, provided the deal involves an appropriate fee, and the talks are expected to progress in the upcoming weeks.
