The 57-year-old has been told he can bring in four loan signings to bolster his squad and moved quickly to add to his squad ahead of the Walsall game on Saturday*.
Forest haven't had a natural right-sided midfielder all season with the likes of Eugen Bopp and more recently, Brian Cash filling the gap. Impey nearly signed for Forest in a £2m deal prior to joining Martin O'Neill at Leicester instead.
Alan Rogers has failed to break into Micky Adams' squad, mainly because of fitness reasons. He enjoyed a fiesty reception in his last appearence at The City Ground.
They both join for initial month loans and are expected to play against Walsall on Saturday.
