Nottingham Forest are reportedly ready to submit an improved bid to sign Millwall winger Jed Wallace.
The 27-year-old has been a target of the Reds throughout the transfer window.
It looked as if Forest would have to move on to other targets, with Millwall turning down a number of offers for the former Wolves and Portsmouth man.
But it has been claimed this morning (Monday) that Forest are preparing an improved offer for Wallace in the hope of getting a deal over the line before tonight’s 11pm deadline.
Journalist Peter O’Rourke tweeted: “Nottingham Forest are preparing an improved deadline day bid for Millwall star Jed Wallace after seeing several offers rejected this month. #nffc #Millwall #DeadlineDay.”
Millwall boss Gary Rowett addressed the interest in Wallace last week.
He insisted he was hopeful the player would remain in south London, but conceded the Lions would consider the right offer.
“There is the possibility that someone could come in and offer an amount of money we’d have to sensibly look at,” Rowetttold London News Online.
“We’ve said it all along that we don’t want to lose Jed – he’s been a top, top player for us. That has always been our stance.
“We’ve missed that spark, pace and creativity he brings in this period of games he has been unavailable. As it stands it looks like nothing like that [a move] is going to be an issue for the club.
“Hopefully he can get fit and impact us and we’ll see where we are in the summer, because that’s a different story – that’s not really anything that any of us can control.
“What we want to do is get the best out of Jed again and for him to try and help the team, like he has done so many times in the past.”
Wallace, whose Millwall contract expires in the summer, hasn’t played since December due to injury.
