Nottingham Forest is interested in 22-year-old French midfielder Kévin Danois, who is also being pursued by Crystal Palace. Both Premier League clubs have prioritized signing the Auxerre player for the end of the transfer window, though no official offer has been formally sent to his current club. While discussions with Palace were previously mentioned concerning a deal estimated at €29.1 million plus bonuses, Auxerre's preference is to retain their player. However, it is reported that a proposal of more than €30 million could make the French club consider a sale, which would be the largest in their history.

Danois, who has been capped twice for the France U21 team, has a contract with Auxerre until 2029. The French club has a history of maintaining their valuation, having rejected a €15 million offer from Hull City in July 2026 and an €11 million bid from AFC Bournemouth in June 2025.
