With him not featuring much in the first team, he was given permission to join Fulham on loan last term.
The 21-year-old played 15 times for them towards the end of the 2021/22 campaign as they won the Championship title.

Liverpool are ‘happy to sell’ him after they brought in Calvin Ramsay earlier this window.
The Wales international will come in to play on the right in Forest’s 3-5-2 system. They are also ‘aiming to sign’ Bayern Munich’s Omar Richards to operate on the left.
The report adds that Forest are ‘keen to recruit’ Huddersfield Town left-back Harry Toffolo, who would cost around £2.5m.
Elsewhere, Everton have reportedly sparked late interest in Wolves’ Morgan Gibbs-White, with Nottingham Forest also keen.

Interest in Gibbs-White is high with Forest boss Steve Cooper looking to bring him to the City Ground.
According to The Athletic, Everton have joined the Reds in the race to sign the England under-21 midfielder.
The Toffees have registered a ‘late interest’ and will rival Forest in pursuit of the Wolves man.
The Molineux club are believed to value the 22-year-old at £30million. He is out of contract in two years’ time.
