Nottingham Forest are reportedly monitoring the progress of Liverpool's teenage sensation Ben Doak ahead of a potential loan move.
The 17-year-old penned his first professional contract at Anfield on Monday after making his debut for the club in last week's Carabao Cup triumph over Derby County.
His display against the Rams won a number of plaudits and Doak was subsequently rewarded with a place on Jurgen Klopp's bench for their league meeting with Southampton on Saturday.

Doak has continued to impress, this time for Scotland's under-21 side in their 2-1 friendly defeat to Iceland at Fir Park.
He provided the assist for Max Johnston's opener and was unfortunate not to be on the score sheet himself during an impressive first-half display. His skill, pace and tenacity remained evident in a trickier second period.
BBC Scotland's commentary team would later confirm during coverage that Forest scouts were in attendance, with the Reds said to be weighing up a temporary move for the former Celtic youngster.
Steve Cooper and City Ground hierarchy are expected to be active in their recruitment, once again, in January. Brazilian star Gustavo Scarpa will arrive in the East Midlands from Palmeiras, having signed a pre-contract agreement in the summer.
Having been named Liverpool's academy manager in 2011, Cooper will be familiar with the inner workings of the club. He oversaw the development of such players as Raheem Sterling and Trent Alexander-Arnold whilst on Merseyside.
Forest currently sit just one spot below 17th-placed Everton heading into the World Cup break.
