Nottingham Forest are "ready to raid" relegated Southampton for striker Che Adams this summer.
The 26-year-old has one year left on his contract at St Mary's but now looks set to leave with his club dropping out of the Premier League.
Forest were linked with the Leicester-born forward last year and, according to talkSPORT, are prepared to make a move for him in the summer transfer window. They say head coach Steve Cooper is still a "big admirer" of the Scotland international.

Adams has scored five goals and assisted another three in 28 Premier League games this season, and netted seven in 30 last term. While he may not score masses of goals, he is a useful player to have in the forward line.
The striker has been one of the rare positive notes in a dour Southampton season, so it's likely other clubs may express an interest in Adams. It remains to be seen whether any others will make a move.
Steve Cooper will be keen to add strikers to his squad this summer. Taiwo Awoniyi, Sam Surridge, Emmanuel Dennis and Andre Ayew are the out-and-out strikers in the squad. Ayew is out of contract this summer.
