A permanent deal to sign former loan star Nicky Shorey is top of the list according to the Nottingham Evening Post, who state that Billy Davies hopes 'a chance to play regular football and help in a push for automatic promotion will tempt Shorey to drop down into the Championship'.
The Daily Mail meanwhile report that Peter Whittingham of Cardiff City and Burnley winger Chris Eagles are also in Davies' sights, with around £2.5m needed to prise midfielder Whittingham away from the Welsh club.
