Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper will more than likely throw himself back into the transfer market in a bid to secure Premier League survival for the Reds on their return to the top-flight.
Having taken Forest back to the 'promised land', Cooper didn't waste any time in recruiting a plethora of stars to fire Forest above the relegation zone come the end of the season with internationally renowned stars in the ilk of Jesse Lingard, Serge Aurier and Remo Freuler all joining up at the City Ground.
Despite a poor start to the season which saw just four points from eight league games, Forest have now only lost two of their last seven in the top-flight; owing to the faith shown in Cooper, with his squad now starting to gel even more.
Here, NottinghamshireLive runs you through the latest transfer rumours.

Forest almost landed Championship star
Forest reportedly 'seriously considered' making a move for Sheffield United star Iliman Ndiaye in the summer months after a superb spell in the second-tier last year.
Ndiaye could have become Forest’s 23rd signing of the summer had they plunged to sign the Senegal international, who has been one of the Championship’s top performers this season with nine goals and two assists in just 21 appearances.
The Athletic claimed that the star was contemplated heavily by Forest before chiefs instead decided to plump for Morgan Gibbs-White and Emmanuel Dennis. Interest will likely increase for Ndiaye, whose rise has been nothing short of sensational in Sheffield.
French youngster in Forest sights
Forest have been linked with a move for another Championship young talent - in Huddersfield Town’s Etienne Camara.
Camara made his debut after moving to West Yorkshire from French side Angers, and he has seriously impressed at the John Smith’s Stadium with some cultured performances.
However, with the Terriers failing to impress in the second-tier by finding themselves bottom of the table, the thought of League One football could prove to be off the cards for the youngster, according to the Sun - with Forest potentially swooping in, though Leicester City and Brighton are both interested.
Forest chase German youngster
Steve Cooper could add to his youth ranks with the transfer team at the City Ground reportedly chasing German starlet Jamil Siebert.
Siebert, 20, is on the books at Fortuna Dusseldorf, though is currently shining at Viktoria Koln.
And according to German outlet Bild, Cooper’s men have displayed their interest in signing Siebert over the winter window, although Roma are interested. Siebert’s agent said as much, stating: "It's true that both clubs are interested in Jamil. They contacted us and enquired about the contractual situation."
