'Bossed us' - The Championship stars Nottingham Forest fans want to sign

Nottingham Forest are blessed with many impressive players on the club's books at the moment.

Prior to the suspension of English football due to the coronavirus, the Reds occupied fifth place in the Sky Bet Championship table.

Sabri Lamouchi’s side have nine league matches remaining, and will hope to secure promotion to the Premier League when football resumes.

Players like Matty Cash, Lewis Grabban, Ben Watson and Brice Samba, to name just a few, have played a key part in Forest’s success this term.

But while Forest have impressed this season, players at other Championship clubs have also caught the eye.

We asked Forest fans to name the player from any Championship club that they wish the Reds could sign.

Here is a selection of what they had to say.

Dave Astbury: “Any of Brentford's excellent front four (Watkins, Benrahma, Canos and Mbeumo), Lyle Taylor, John Swift, Cauley Woodrow, Jed Wallace: all pretty handy.”

Ian Tyler: “Jamal Lowe - Wigan. If you saw his hold up play against us you'll know why. Totally bossed us and won everything in the air whilst chased down everything.”

Eamon McTaggart: “After his performance down here it has to be Matt Smith.”

Gareth Davies: “Ollie Watkins, before January and his move to West Ham, I would have said Jarrod Bowen.”

Lee Clarke: “Ollie Watkins, Benrahma or Tom Cairney.”

Darren Weston: “Watkins is classy. Leeds have 2 or 3.”

Tony Bagley: “Mitrovic from Fulham.”
