Nottingham Forest continue to be on the lookout for new players to add to their squad this summer.
A fair bit has happened over the last 24 hours, with conflicting reports emerging over the future of Morgan Gibbs-White. Forest continue chasing for his signature and were reportedly 'on the verge' of signing him, but other reports stated that Wolves are not willing to sell the midfielder, ahead of the Premier League's return this weekend.
The Reds have also been credited with an interest in Atalanta midfielder Remo Freuler as a potential replacement for Gibbs-White. Meanwhile, Forest officials have began to look for an alternative to Maxwel Cornet after suffering a transfer blow following West Ham's move for the winger.
With Steve Cooper looking to sign another striker following the departure of Lewis Grabban and Keinan Davis' return to Aston Villa, Dutch striker Jizz Hornkamp has emerged as a possibility to bolster attacking options in the final weeks of the transfer window.

'Conflicting reports' in pursuit for Wolves star
Conflicting reports have emerged over the the future of Morgan Gibbs-White amid claims that Nottingham Forest are closing in on a deal for the Wolves attacking midfielder.
According to BBC Sport’s Natalie Jackson, Gibbs-White is "on the verge" of signing for Forest with a deal "in the final stages". She adds that Forest hope to get the transfer over the line "in the next few days".
However, the Express and Star state that no deal is in place and that Gibbs-White trained with Wolves as usual today (Thursday), with Forest still "pushing" for the transfer. Forest have faced competition in their chase for Gibbs-White's signature this summer - including interest from Everton and Crystal Palace but Wolves are determined to keep hold of him as he is set to play an important role ahead of the new season.
Transfer blow for Burnley winger
Nottingham Forest have been handed a blow in their hopes of signing Burnley winger Maxwel Cornet this season, following West Ham's move to agree a fee for the player.
Steve Cooper is keen to add more players, particularly in attacking areas, before the window closes on Thursday, September 1 and Cornet was among the top priorities for the Welsh boss. The Ivory Coast international had mpressed in his first season in the Premier League in 2021/22 after joining from Ligue 1 side Lyon last summer.
Despite his performances, he couldn’t help to rescue Burnley from relegation to the Championship at the end of last season. Forest are one of the clubs wanting to give him a second chance in the Premier League this season, but they face competition from a number of clubs.
Serie A midfielder interest
Nottingham Forest are interested in signing Atalanta midfielder Remo Freuler, with the 30-year-old said to be "one of the targets on the list" for Cooper.
However, Forest are yet to agree a deal with the Italian club. The links come after it was said Forest want three more players this summer, including a striker.
The experienced midfielder has made 260 appearances for Atalanta since he moved to Italy in 2016, with his impressive outings earning interest from abroad.
Interest revealed for Dutch striker
Nottingham Forest are reportedly trying to sign Dutch striker Jizz Hornkamp from Dutch side Willem II. Forest have identified the 24-year-old among other "several targets" in the final weeks of the summer transfer window.
Cooper is keen to bring in other options to his attack following the club-record signing of Taiwo Awoniyi from Union Berlin for a £17.5million fee. Hornkamp scored four goals in 13 games to help his team avoid relegation last campaign.
The Forest boss Cooper wants "at least two more" signings, as well as Hornkamp, before the summer window closes.
