Reading FC star striker Lucas Joao is attracting interest from up to five clubs ahead of a potential summer move, according to reports.
The Angola international has netted 38 goals in just over 80 appearances since arriving in 2019, including 10 last season in an injury-hit campaign.
Under contract until next summer, it is thought that a cash offer could tempt the Royals who are under financial restrictions due to breaching Profit and Sustainability regulations.
Football League World reports that newly-promoted Forest, along with recently-relegated Norwich City, Burnley and Watford, are all keeping a close eye on the former Sheffield Wednesday man.
Play-off challengers Middlesbrough are also thought to be keen, with Chris Wilder said to be "very keen" on the 6ft 4in goal getter.
Signed by Jose Gomes for a reported £5m, the inury-prone striker has been invaluable since arriving in Berkshire and will be one Paul Ince would love to keep at the SCL Stadium- but with finances remaining an issue the club could try and cash in before his contract is up next summer.
