Joao Carvalho linked with Nottingham Forest exit as Steve Cooper tipped for Everton job

Nottingham Forest record signing Joao Carvalho is said to be a target for Greek giants Olympiacos, heading into the final two weeks of the January transfer window.

The midfielder has found himself down the pecking order at the City Ground and has been struggling for game time this season.

His campaign got off to a bright start when he played a starring role in the Carabao Cup win over Bradford City in August.

Carvalho netted both goals that night as the Reds triumphed 2-1, making an eye-catching return in the Garibaldi after spending last term on loan at Spanish second division outfit Almeria.

Grabban's contract

Head coach Steve Cooper says any thoughts about Nottingham Forest striker Lewis Grabban’s future have been put to one side.

The 34-year-old will be out of contract in the summer, and said back in November that, at that point, talks hadn’t taken place with the club about a new one.

Any uncertainty about what will happen beyond this season doesn’t seem to be affecting him on the pitch, however, with Saturday’s winner at Millwall his 12th goal of the campaign.

And Cooper says the focus is on the present as the Reds look to continue their push up the Championship table.

Wallace comments

Millwall winger Jed Wallace has spoken about missing Saturday’s game against Nottingham Forest, amid the Reds’ interest in signing him.

Steve Cooper’s side returned to winning ways in the Championship as they triumphed 1-0 at The Den, thanks to Lewis Grabban’s last-minute goal.

The Reds are keen to add Wallace to their ranks this month, but have been rebuffed in their attempts to snap him up so far - and they are not the only ones chasing his signature.

The 27-year-old was not included in the Lions’ matchday squad to face Forest at the weekend, though.

Tipped for Toffees

Pundit Simon Jordan says Everton should consider Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper as an option to be their next manager.

The Premier League Toffees are on the lookout for a new boss after Rafael Benitez was sacked at the weekend.

The Spaniard’s time at Goodison Park came to an end just six months after he was appointed, with Saturday’s 2-1 defeat at Norwich City proving to be the final straw.

Belgium head coach Roberto Martinez is reportedly favourite to take up the post.

But Jordan says Cooper should be among those in contention for the role, having been impressed by the work he has done Trentside.
