Queens Park Rangers are front runners to sign experienced defender Steve Cook from Bournemouth.
Rangers, who lost 1-0 to Bournemouth on Monday, are close to agreeing personal terms with centre-back Cook.
Nottingham Forest are also interested in the 30 year-old but QPR are understood to be further down the line in finalising a deal for Cook.
Both Rangers and Forest are just outside the top six and Cook would add vital promotion know-how to their squads.
Cook has been at Bournemouth for over 10 years and a key figure in their rise from League One to the Premier League, making over 350 appearances for the south coast club.
