The Blues are willing to stump up £1.5m for the 19-year-old midfielder, according to Sunday paper The People.

But it's claimed a compromise could be struck if the Premier League leaders agree to loan Cash back.

Cash broke into the Forest first team at the start of the campaign following a loan spell at Dagenham and Redbridge last season.

He suffered a fractured tibia in September and returned from injury in Friday night's 5-2 win over Barnsley.

The Slough-born starlet joined Forest from Bisham Abbey in 2014.

After signing his first pro contract last year, academy manager Gary Brazil said of Cash: "He’s got a nice, cheeky way about him and he moves about the pitch really well.

"Technically he’s very good and he’s got the ability to break lines from midfield and get into the box.

"I think he’s one that will be able score goals."

Cash is under contract at the City Ground until 2019 after penning a new three-year deal in the summer.
