Nottingham Forest supporters have expressed their desire to see former striker Kienan Davies return to the club.
Davis was a vital part of the Reds’ 2021/2022 promotion campaign, arriving at the City Ground on loan from Aston Villa in January.
He made 22 appearances for Forest, registering five goals and three assists under Steve Cooper. The 24-year-old’s all-round capabilities swiftly earned him a fan-favourite status.

Subsequently, rumours of a permanent summer transfer to the East Midlands began to emerge but, ultimately, a deal failed to materialise. Davis would eventually complete another temporary move away from Villa, this time to Watford.
Whilst Forest are now firmly adapting to life back in the Premier League, they have also netted the joint-second-fewest goals of any top-flight side. Attacking reinforcements could prove pivotal during the January transfer window.
Depending on the conditions of Davis’ loan to Vicarage Road, a return to the Reds may well be practically impossible. Nevertheless, that has not prevented fans from discussing the prospect after Forest uploaded highlights of last season’s 2-0 win at Blackburn rovers.
In that game, Davis displayed game-changing hold-up play to facilitate James Garner’s opening effort. The triumph would prove significant as Cooper masterminded a shock promotion.
Below is a taste of what fans were saying on Twitter…
@RhysWilliams79 - Should’ve paid up to keep Keinan.
@jma_01 - Sign Keinan Davis in January. The short term nostalgia watching him bully the Championship is real.
@GaryKirby28 - That 1st goal was one of my faves we scored. Keinan's strength and determination. Jimmy G sending his defender into the middle of next week. Loved it. Wish we could have them both back.
@yoru_uk1 - Keinan's strength is what we are missing at the minute
@uptight9 - Awoniyi may have other strengths, but I reeeeeally can't imagine him doing what Keinan did here. Any of those things really.
@SamN_102 - God I miss Jimmy and Keinan
@SimeonHawkins - What a team, really miss @Keinan, @jgarnerr96, @DjedSpence and @samba_brice.
