Nottingham Forest are plotting a late-window move for Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sasources have told Football Insider.

Forest remain in the market for a second goalkeeper signing after landing Matt Turner from Arsenal earlier this month.

Long-term target Dean Henderson is close to joining Crystal Palace and it means Steve Cooper's side will turn to alternative options on their shortlist in the final days of the window.

One of those is Sa, who is the established Wolves number one and has three years remaining on his contract.

The Portuguese shot-stopper, 30, was outstanding in the club's 1-0 Premier League win over Everton on Saturday.

Everton registered 15 shots - seven on target - during their Premier League clash against Wolves, but Sa kept the Merseyside club at bay before Sasa Kalajdzic stole all three points with a late winner.

Sa signed a five-year deal at Molineux after joining Wolves in a £6.5million move from Olympiacos in 2021.

He replaced Rui Patricio as the club's number one and has gone on to keep 24 clean sheets in 79 appearances across all competitions.

Sa kept 11 clean sheets last season despite being dropped to the bench by Julen Lopetegui late into the 2022/23 campaign.

Gary O'Neil recalled Sa as his first-choice keeper this season, and he kept his first clean sheet of the season against Everton this weekend.

Turner has started all three games for Forest since completing his move from Arsenal, but is yet to keep a clean sheet for the Nottingham-based side after losses against Arsenal and Manchester United and conceding in their 2-1 win over Sheffield United.
