Nottingham Forest are keen to sign Adrien Truffert from Rennes this summer. The Reds are also keen on Monaco defender Ismail Jakobs but it’s not claimed that he’s viewed as an option for a more advanced role.
According to Foot Mercato, Forest are now making serious efforts to land Truffert before the season gets underway. However, it’s believed that the Ligue 1 outfit are keen to keep hold of the player.
Truffert has been with Rennes his whole career. He signed for the club as a youngster and has risen through the ranks where he’s become an important part of the team.
In total, he’s made 113 appearances for the French club. During the 2022/23 campaign, he was a regular in the team until March when an unfortunate injury curtailed his season prematurely.
Truffert didn’t manage to score for Rennes last season but he did claim seven assists. For a player who typically operates as a left-back in a flat-back four, that’s not a bad achievement at all.
