Nottingham Forest are said to have “enquired” about the possibility of January moves for Premier League duo Andre Gray and Connor Wickham.
Strengthening their forward ranks is a priority for the Reds during the transfer window, with Lewis Grabban left as the only recognised front man after Rafa Mir’s loan spell from Wolverhampton Wanderers was cut short.
According to the Evening Standard, Forest have “enquired about the availability of Watford striker Gray to see if a deal can be done” and “have also checked in with Crystal Palace over a possible deal for Wickham”.
But they could face competition from Championship rivals, with Leeds United reportedly keen on Gray, who, it is said, “could leave on loan this month”.
Meanwhile, Sheffield Wednesday have also been linked with Wickham again - after interest was reported last month - as the Standard say a loan move to the second tier “looks likely”.
Gray, 28, has made just seven top-flight starts for the Hornets this season, making 21 appearances in total across all competitions and scoring two goals.
Wickham has found game time even tougher to come by, with the 26-year-old featuring six times and scoring once so far this term.
Arsenal forward Eddie Nketiah and Southampton’s Che Adams had both been on the Reds’ striker shortlist, but it has been reported both are set to stay put this month.
