Nottingham Forest completing the signing of Union Berlin centre-forward Taiwo Awoniyi would reportedly end any interest in re-signing former Aston Villa loanee Keinan Davis.
The Reds are reportedly in "advanced talks" to sign the Nigeria international from the Bundesliga side for the £17.5million release clause in his contract in a move that would break the club's transfer record. The current high stands at £13million, which Forest paid Benfica to sign the now-departed Joao Carvalho.
Steve Cooper 's side have also been linked with even exceeding that expected fee for Awoniyi should they sign Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Morgan Gibbs-White as a £20million-plus price has been reported. One player now not expected to sign though is Davis.
