Although the transfer window doesn’t officially open until July 1, Forest did make an enquiry about Carlton Cole. The 29 year old striker has just been released by West Ham and is a free agent, but the player has dismissed any interest in joining the Reds’.

Meanwhile, Dexter Blackstock is being linked with a move away from the City Ground, despite recently agreeing a new four and a half year deal. Various sources are suggesting Huddersfield are lining up a bid for the Forest striker.
