Nottingham Forest have been linked with a summer move for former Manchester City youngster Cameron Humphreys.
But the Reds are not the only ones said to be eyeing up the defender. A host of Championship clubs are reportedly showing an interest in the 23-year-old as this season draws to a close.
It is set to be a big summer transfer window for Forest head coach Steve Cooper, regardless of which division the club find themselves in. Be it plotting another promotion push or planning for life in the Premier League, should the Reds go up this year, the Welshman will look to stamp his influence on the squad.

According to the Daily Mail, Forest are among a number of teams “showing interest in” Humphreys. Rivals Luton Town, Blackburn Rovers and Huddersfield Town are also said to be keen.
The centre-back currently plies his trade in Belgium, at Zulte Waregem. However, he is out of contract in the summer and is reportedly weighing up a return to England, with his club having “received a number of enquiries from Championship sides”.
Humphreys came up through the ranks at City but made the move to Waregem in 2019. He has made 26 appearances this season.
Joe Worrall, Steve Cook and Scott McKenna have been first-choice defenders as a back three under Cooper. Tobias Figueiredo has stepped in while Cook and McKenna have been injured, but he is out of contract in the summer and is likely to move on.
The Reds also have Loic Mbe Soh and Jonathan Panzo on the books, but both have struggled to get a look-in so far. Forest may have to contend with interest in Worrall when the window opens, with the Nigel Doughty Academy graduate having a number of top-flight admirers.
