Leeds United and Nottingham Forest are on the hunt for a prolific centre-forward in January to potentially replace loanees who could return to their parent clubs.
Eddie Nketiah has struggled for fitness and playing time (265 minutes of Championship football) at Leeds and may cut his stay at Elland Road short. Rafa Mir is in a similar position (140 minutes of Championship football) at Forest and could depart the City Ground sooner than anticipated.
One player both sides have been linked with is Dwight Gayle. The 29-year-old has been on the periphery at Newcastle United this season and could opt for a loan move away from St James’ Park to get regular playing time.
