Nottingham Forest are among a number of clubs linked with Rennes midfielder Jordan James as they look to add to their options this summer. Everton and Crystal Palace have also reportedly been associated with the Wales international, who has 26 caps for his country and joined his current club in August 2024 with a contract running until 2028. He has attracted interest from multiple Premier League teams. Despite the interest from top-flight clubs, a move to a leading Championship club is considered the most probable outcome for the 22-year-old. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €12 million. Recent reports from August 2026 state Rennes' asking price is £10 million, a decrease from the £20-25 million reported in April 2026.
