On-loan winger Anthony Knockaert says he is keen to extend his stay at Nottingham Forest.
The 29-year-old’s loan deal from Fulham is due to expire on January 7, making Saturday’s trip to Preston North End potentially his last game in the Garibaldi.
The Reds do have an option to buy, while there is also the possibility of trying to negotiate keeping him on loan until the summer.
Forest boss Chris Hughton has said a decision is yet to be made about Knockaert’s future, and the man himself says he is unsure what will happen.
Worrall interest
Burnley are reportedly ready to “step up their interest” in Nottingham Forest ace Joe Worrall, ahead of the January transfer window.
The Premier League side have been long-term admirers of the Reds centre-back, though have previously been rebuffed in their attempt to prise him away from the City Ground.
However, it is claimed the Clarets are likely to try their luck again next month, as they are set to be taken over by American sports investors ALK Capital.
The Mirror say Burnley “plan to step up their interest in Joe Worrall after their takeover”, as it will “help boss Sean Dyche go back in for” the defender.
On the move?
Fresh speculation has emerged linking striker Miguel Angel Guerrero with a departure from Nottingham Forest in January.
The summer signing is said to be in the thinking of former club Sporting Gijon, where he spent five years earlier in his career.
Reports in Spain claim the second division side see Guerrero as a potential option to replace fellow forward Alvaro Vazquez if he departs - and they would look to bring him in on loan.
The 30-year-old signed a one-year deal, with the option for a further 12 months beyond that, when he joined the Reds from fellow Evangelos Marinakis-owned outfit Olympiacos in September.
Collymore view
Former Nottingham Forest striker Stan Collymore has waded into the debate surrounding Karen Carney’s comments about Leeds United and the Elland Road club’s subsequence response on Twitter.
Former England Women’s international Carney, who won 144 caps for her country, said during Amazon Prime Sport’s coverage of Leeds’ 5-0 win at West Brom that Marcelo Bielsa’s side benefited from the coronavirus break in March to win the Championship title earlier this year.
Leeds responded on Twitter by poking fun at Carney’s comments, provoking a backlash from some fans who felt that it would encourage online abuse to be directed at her.
Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani, replying to a tweet which said Leeds should be “ashamed” of their actions, wrote: “I take the responsibility of the club tweet.
