Hull City have initiated contact with Nottingham Forest over a potential loan move for left-back Harry Toffolo, according to reports. The Tigers are seeking cover after first-choice left-back Jacob Greaves sustained an injury during the Championship clash with Sheffield United last weekend.
Toffolo, who left Huddersfield Town for a multi-million pound fee last summer, has struggled for game time under Steve Cooper at the City Ground. With Renan Lodi preferred at left-back and Omar Richards set to return from injury, the 27-year-old has found opportunities limited in the Premier League.
The defender was a popular figure during his two-and-a-half-year spell at Huddersfield, joining from Lincoln City in January 2020. He established himself as first-choice left-back and notably scored the winning goal for the Terriers in a visit to Hull late last season, bundling home from a flicked-on Danel Sinani free kick.
Hull’s interest in Toffolo comes as Huddersfield themselves cope without their own left-back Yuta Nakayama, who suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in early November. His deputy Josh Ruffels has started every league game since.
Toffolo is the latest former Huddersfield player linked with a January exit from Forest, following reports linking Lewis O’Brien with a reunion with former Terriers boss Carlos Corberan at West Bromwich Albion.
