Nottingham Forest are believed to have shown an interest in signing Stoke City forward Sam Surridge on transfer deadline day.
The Reds were already keen to bolster their attacking options before the January transfer window closes - and that has only taken on greater priority following an ankle injury to Lewis Grabban.
Forest’s top scorer was left in a protective boot after being clattered into in Sunday’s 2-1 defeat at Cardiff City, with head coach Steve Cooper waiting to find out the extent of his injury.
