Nottingham Forest have fallen behind one of their Premier League rivals in the race to sign a highly-rated teenage defender.
Finn Walsh-Smith, who is described as "a towering central defender who is comfortable on the ball", has attracted interest from the Reds, Bournemouth, Crystal Palace and Fulham, as well as National League outfit Chesterfield, after breaking into Gosport's first team last season.
However, the Cherries have reportedly "stolen a march" in the five-way battle to the sign the starlet, according to The News. They are currently "leading the chase" for the non-league youngster.
