READING FC midfielder has admitted that he would ‘love’ to sign for the Royals if given the chance this summer.
The 23-year-old midfielder is currently on loan from Premier League side Nottingham Forest.
Forest have been on a spending spree since winning promotion last season and have signed 30 players throughout the summer and January transfer windows.
Meanwhile, Fornah has played 22 Championship games so far this season during his loan stint.
When speaking about Reading being a potential permanent home, Fornah said: “I would love to (sign permanently). If it was down to me, I would literally sign today.
“There’s a bigger picture between the two clubs but I do hope my future is here long term.
“I’m not thinking about it now and I’ll wait until the summer, but now for me is just about performing, getting back into the team and playing well.
“That’s my main focus. I don’t care about anything else, I just care about playing and I’m trying to get as many minutes as I can, play well and hopefully get a few goals as well.”
Fornah spent six years at the Reading academy having joined the club in 2012 before he left to join Brighton & Hove Albion and then Nottingham Forest.
The midfielder has had loan spells with Casa Pia, Plymouth Argyle and Shrewsbury Town before making the step up to play Championship football back with Reading this season under Paul Ince.
He continued: “It’s been tough for numerous reasons. I’ve been injured and then come back and not played as much as I would have liked, but as a young player I’m developing and there will be ups and downs.
“It’s about being level headed, keep believing in myself and working hard and prove myself to the gaffer and the club that I’m capable of playing in the league.
“This year was my first real injury, even as a youth team player I never got injured so it shows how hard the Championship is.
“It’s all a learning curve for me. I want to show fans what I can do.
“The ability is there, I know what I can do with the ball, but I need more belief in myself.
“The way I am as a character I’m a bit timid and shy so I need to come out of my shell more and that’s showing in games.
“When tough things happen on the pitch it’s about me showing personality, getting on the ball and doing my thing.
“That’s something the gaffer has brought into my game. In my position I will make mistakes and lose the ball, I’m a midfielder that tries to play forward and be on the front foot.
“The gaffer has been good with that and has encouraged me to be brave.”
