Nottingham Forest have addressed a number of positions this summer with Evangelos Marinakis recruiting six new players.
Nuno Espirito Santo has been able to work them into the group at Forest almost seamlessly with the majority of them arriving before the end of the pre-season trip to Spain.
It is now full focus on the upcoming Premier League curtain raiser for Forest next Saturday when Bournemouth travel to the City Ground.
The Cherries will now be arriving in Nottingham having just lost their main man with Dominic Solanke sealing his move to Tottenham Hotspur.
But Bournemouth are not the only side looking for to potentially add a new striker to their squad over the coming days.
Forest are also searching the market to strengthen their options and it seems as if there could be some developments coming over the next few days for one target, in particular.

Forest striker target could be set for Premier League move
A new striker feels like just about the only area which has not been added to by Marinakis this summer.
Having said that, Forest have bolstered their front line with the addition of Jota Silva and Eric da Silva Moreira already.
But the Reds are still looking for more with Forest having seen a bid rejected for Porto winger Galeno during their friendly against Olympiacos on Thursday.
Alongside another winger, Forest are looking to sign a new striker and there is one who could see movement on his future over the coming days.
According to Fabrizio Romano, there could now be some developments to come sooner rather than later with Feyenoord striker Santiago Gimenez.
“Santiago Gimenez news? I think there could be news for Santiago Gimenez in the next days,” Romano said on his YouTube channel.
“I expect movement around Santiago Gimenez and I think it could be the Premier League for Santiago Gimenez.
“There is movement, I can’t say more, for now, but there is movement around Santiago Gimenez.”
Nottingham Forest are keen on signing Santiago Gimenez
It has now been claimed that Forest have made contact over the ‘fantastic’ Santiago Gimenez this summer as they look to add to their striker department.
The Mexico international has been linked with a potential move to Tottenham this summer but that now looks to be off the cards.
Forest could certainly offer Gimenez with an opportunity to prove his worth in the Premier League following an impressive showing last term in the Eredivisie.
But it is whether he could be convinced to join Forest considering he may have thought European football could have been on offer with Spurs.
An interesting few weeks lie ahead for both Forest and Gimenez.
