Bordeaux forward Hwang Ui-jo is 'starting to think' about accepting Nottingham Forest's transfer offer this summer, according to a fresh transfer report.

The Lowdown: Hwang linked with Forest move

The South Korean is among an endless stream of players to have either joined or been linked with a move to the City Ground during the current transfer window.

Hwang has emerged as a potential signing after producing some impressive performances for Bordeaux, scoring 23 goals over the past two seasons in Ligue 1.

The move is still up in the air but a new update suggests that the 29-year-old could end up joining the Premier League club.

The Latest: Hwang considering Forest offer

According to Greek media outlet To10 [via Sport Witness], Hwang is 'starting to think' about saying yes to the Reds' offer, with Steve Cooper keen on a summer move for him.

The report also states that the South Korea forward is 'now considering' the deal, which would see him being loaned out to Olympiakos (also owned by Evangelos Marinakis) this season.

The Verdict: Good for squad depth eventually

While Hwang wouldn't come in as an immediate part of Forest's squad, he could be a good squad player eventually, despite turning 30 next week

He has been described as a 'very efficient' player by Montpellier coach Gislan Printand and has scored four goals in as many caps for South Korea, making a superb start to his international career.

The Olympiakos loan move may not be ideal - it would be preferable to have Hwang in Forest's squad straight away - but he could deliver quality and end product further down the line.
