Here are your latest Nottingham Forest transfer headlines...
Lingard latest
Nottingham Forest midfielder Jesse Lingard admits that he does not know what the future holds for him at the club after signing on a free transfer from Manchester United last summer.
Lingard, 30, signed just a one-year contract when completing a move to the City Ground in July. That means, in theory, the player could begin negotiating with clubs outside of England as soon as New Year's Day ahead of potentially signing a pre-contract agreement to secure a move overseas at the end of this season.
The former England international has made 14 appearances for the Reds to date, finally scoring his first goal while wearing Garibaldi against Tottenham Hotspur during the Carabao Cup third round tie. Lingard also assisted his first goal for a teammate earlier in that match, setting up Atlético Madrid loanee Renan Lodi for the opener in what ended up being a 2-0 win.

Reasons revealed
Nottingham Forest summer signing Jesse Lingard has revealed he felt more wanted by the Reds than any other club during the last transfer window.
After leaving Manchester United at the end of his contract, Lingard was a free agent and without a club for much of the month of July before a free transfer to the Reds was agreed.
West Ham United, where the player spent five months on loan during the second half of the 2020/21 season, did everything they could to sign the player permanently, a fact recently revealed by their manager, David Moyes.
Reds rejected
Nottingham Forest have had a bid rejected for Salernitana midfielder Lassana Coulibaly, according to a report.
It was said that Forest tabled an offer last week as the club look to continue their extensive recruitment drive. Some 23 players were signed during the summer transfer window.
Coulibaly, 26, could be the next through the door at the City Ground, though these latest reports say Serie A club Salernitana are holding out for a bid of £8.5million for their star midfielder. Given how prolific Evangelos Marinakis and his recruitment staff were in the summer, it seems a fee they would be willing to rise to.
