Nottingham Forest interested in Omar Richards transfer with Bayern Munich’s ex-Reading star struggling for gametime

NOTTINGHAM FOREST are keeping a close eye on Bayern Munich's Omar Richards.

The German giants are reportedly keen to offload the ex-Reading star who has failed to fully establish himself at the Allianz Arena.

The clubs are said to be in direct contact over the 24-year-old with a fee of around £9million being discussed.

Richards has struggled for game time since joining the Bundesliga champions last May on a free.

The left back made just 17 appearances in all competitions as his team marched to a tenth successive title.

Before joining them Richards was a key player for Reading, coming through the youth system before making 104 appearances for the first team.

Richards had spent eight years at Reading after being released by Fulham at the age of 15.

Forest look set to be busy in the upcoming transfer window after being promoted to the Premier League for the first time since 1989/99.

However, it is looking increasingly likely that Forest will miss out on Djed Spence.
