Reports this week suggest that highly-rated Rotherham United striker Will Hoskins and former Forest midfielder David Prutton, now at Southampton, are both New Year targets for City Ground boss Colin Calderwood.
Hoskins has turned down a new contract at Millmoor and is attracting plenty of interest after netting 14 times this season.
Prutton is not in manager George Burley's plans on the South Coast.
