Former Wolves and Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo has spoken to Nottingham Forest amid growing uncertainty over the future of manager Steve Cooper.
Former Eintracht Frankfurt boss Oliver Glasner has also been mentioned as a likely replacement if Cooper went, but it seems Nuno is now in pole position.
Forest, 17th in the top-flight, have won once in 13 Premier League games and taken eight points in that time.
They have also picked up just one point from their last six matches and are five points ahead of third-bottom Luton, who have a match in hand.
