TBR Football can exclusively confirm that two players on Nottingham Forest\u2019s radar are now closing in on a move to Napoli.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Reds have had a busy summer on the transfer front, bringing in a number of players but also moving others on.<\/p>\n

Jair Cunha and Igor Jesus have joined Nottingham Forest<\/a> this summer, while Anthony Elanga, Ramon Sosa, Andrew Omobamidele and Jonathan Panzo have left.<\/p>\n

In addition, Morgan Gibbs-White could be set to leave Forest<\/a>, though his move to Tottenham Hotspur is likely to be delayed amid the prospect of legal action.<\/p>\n

Now, the Reds could be set for a further transfer-related blow regarding two players they have been eyeing.<\/p>\n

TBR Football <\/strong>chief correspondent Graeme Bailey<\/a> can confirm that Napoli have agreed terms with PSV Eindhoven midfielder Noa Lang<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Serie A winners are also closing in on a move for Dan Ndoye, Bologna\u2019s highly-rated Swiss forward.<\/p>\n

Lang, we can reveal, has been the subject of enquiries from Forest and Fulham.<\/p>\n

He was also on West Ham\u2019s radar as a possible replacement for Mohammed Kudus.<\/p>\n

However, the 26-year-old is now due to finalise his move to Naples on Monday.<\/p>\n

Lang could be joined by Ndoye, who has also generated substantial interest in England.<\/p>\n

The Swiss star can play across the field, but spends most of his time playing wide on either side.<\/p>\n

His all-action displays have brought him to the attention of a number of English clubs in the last 12 months.<\/p>\n

We can confirm that Forest are keen on Ndoye as they look to bring in a host of wide players to replace Elanga and Sosa.<\/p>\n

Crystal Palace have also looked at the player as a potential Eberechi Eze replacement this summer.<\/p>\n

Sources close to Ndoye have also told us that Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United have all watched him in the last 12 months.<\/p>\n

However, Napoli are now closing on Ndoye as they continue talks with Bologna.<\/p>\n

TBR Football <\/strong>confirmed on Saturday that Forest are the most advanced in pursuit of PSV forward Johan Bakayoko<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bournemouth, Brentford, West Ham and Everton have also shown an interest in the Belgium international.<\/p>\n

Newcastle had Bakayoko on their list before signing Elanga, while Liverpool have always been fans of the 22-year-old.<\/p>\n

RB Leipzig, Bayer Leverkusen and Atalanta are also keen \u2013 but sources believe an English move is the most likely outcome.<\/p>\n

In addition, Brentford forward Yoane Wissa is on Forest\u2019s wish list<\/a>, as is Manchester City midfielder James McAtee.<\/p>\n
