Nottingham Forest are interested in signing Manchester City academy winger Carlos Borges, sources have told ESPN.
The 19-year-old was named Premier League 2 Player of the Season after finishing as the division's top goalscorer with 21 goals from 24 appearances as City won the title for a third consecutive season.

Sources have told ESPN that City value Borges at £11 million ($13,949m) but it is unclear at this stage whether they would be willing to part with such a hot prospect.
Borges has a year remaining on his existing contract but Forest are keen to exploit the situation to add to their firepower after avoiding relegation on the penultimate weekend of the season with a 1-0 win over Arsenal.
Steve Cooper's side scored just 38 goals in the Premier League -- only Wolves (31), Everton (34) and Southampton (36) scored fewer.
Borges ended the season with 29 goals in all competitions and is viewed as a versatile winger capable of playing off both flanks.
Sources said talks are at a preliminary stage and it remains a possibility that Borges could sign a new deal at City before going on loan to play regular first-team football.
