Millwall midfielder Zian Flemming has revealed he received an offer from Nottingham Forest in the summer prior to his move to The Den.
The 24-year-old spent two seasons at the Eredivisie side Fortuna Sittard before completing the £1.7 million switch to London. The Dutchman has quickly established himself in Gary Rowett's team, starting in four of his side's seven games.
But it seems there could have had a different outcome had he not agreed to sign for the Lions, as other clubs chased his signature. Forest, who have had a rather busy summer by signing a total of 23 players, also had Flemming on their list of targets.
