Yahoo News Nottingham Forest offer player to Newcastle United in £35m Elliot Anderson talks
Nottingham Forest have reportedly offered Greek goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos to Newcastle United during conversations between the two Premier League clubs over Elliot Anderson.
Midfielder Anderson, 21, is set to become Forest's third signing of the summer after a deal worth around £35 million was agreed with the Magpies. Anderson has risen through Newcastle's academy and is highly-rated by manager Eddie Howe but they are willing to sell him in order to meet Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).
ChronicleLive have now reported that Vlachodimos' name has come up in negotiations. The 30-year-old glovesman has been capped 42 times by Greece and played seven games for Forest in his first full season at the City Ground. Vlachodimos conceded 18 goals in those matches and shipped five at Fulham on his last Premier League outing in December.
Newcastle could sign Vlachodimos as competition for number one Nick Pope with Martin Dubravka expected to leave Tyneside later this summer.
