Nottingham Forest are still hoping to be busy both in terms of incomings and outgoings before next Tuesday's transfer deadline.
Forest have already brought in three new players this month, with Gustavo Scarpa and Danilo both arriving on permanent deals from Palmeiras, and Chris Wood joining on loan from Newcastle United.
Scarpa has already showed his quality since making the switch on a free transfer, while Danilo is regarded as one of Brazil's top young talents and could elevate Forest's midfield to the next level.
Wood, meanwhile, joins with an abundant of Premier League experience behind him and will be looking to fill the void left by the injury to Taiwo Awoniyi.
In terms of other incomings, PSG goalkeeper Keylor Navas has been heavily linked as Forest continue to mull over whether to bring in a new shot-stopper in the absence of the injured Dean Henderson.

Inter Milan midfielder Roberto Gagliardini is another name that cropped up on Tuesday, with Gianluca Di Marzio reporting that Forest are keen on the 28-year-old, especially with his contract set to expire at the end of the season. It is unclear whether a deal would be for now, or a pre-contract agreement ahead of a summer move.
Forest will also be keen to move on fringe players in the coming days, and out-of-favour trio Cafu, Lyle Taylor and Harry Arter are the most likely to depart. The latter has not been part of the first-team set-up for some time, while Cafu and Taylor were left out of the 25-man Premier League squad for the first half of the season.
Speaking ahead of Wednesday’s Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Manchester United, Forest boss Steve Cooper revealed that he is anticipating movement in both directions.
He said: “I definitely see some ins and outs before the window closes. How many and who and what it looks like is never a straightforward process. But we’re definitely clear about what we would like to do. Hopefully we can get it done.”
