We have rounded up all the latest transfer rumours from the City Ground and across the Sky Bet Championship below...
ADVANCED STAGES
Nottingham Forest defender Chema continues to be linked with a move away from the City Ground.
The Reds central defender was reportedly the subject of interest from Spanish club Almeria last week, but now fresh reports have provided a development.
According to Diariode Almeria , negotiations between the Forest and Almeria are at at advanced stage, and “on track” which could see a deal could be completed within days.
The report adds that Chema is keen to return to his homeland, despite only signing for the Reds in the summer from La Liga side Levante.
CARVALHO TO GO?
Olympiacos have been linked with a £15m swoop for Nottingham Forest ace Joao Carvalho.
The Greek club - owned by Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis - are interested in signing the 22-year-old in the January transfer window, according to The Sun on Sunday.
Turkish side Trabzonspor were also recently credited with an interest in Carvalho, too, prompting Reds boss Sabri Lamouchi to respond to speculation surrounding the player's future .
FOREST FACE JANUARY DECISION
With talk of Forest potentially bringing in another striker in the New Year, one option that sections of supporters have called the club to act on is recall Tyler Walker from his loan spell at Lincoln City.
The 23-year-old is on a season-long loan with the League One side, and has been a regular figure for the Imps this term.
In 24 appearances so far this season, Walker has scored 10 goals for Lincoln including three in his last five outings.
Sabri Lamouchi confirmed in September that Forest could recall the forward in the New Year.
