Nottingham Forest have been told they could be left disappointed in their reported chase for defender Andrew Omobamidele.
The Norwich City defender has been linked with a move to the City Ground this summer as the Reds look to strengthen their squad for what they hope will be a second successive season in the top flight.
But former Forest midfielder Carlton Palmer believes a move for the 20-year-old may depend on the outcome of the Canaries season, with Norwich battling to secure a place in the Premier League themselves. David Wagner's side are currently two points outside the Championship play-off places.
