Nottingham Forest boss Aitor Karanka will be looking to further put his own stamp on his newly inherited Nottingham Forest squad in the summer.
Having already made eleven new signings in January, the former Middlesbrough manager is expected to be busy again in preparation for next season in which he hopes to assemble a squad capable of a promotion push.
Nottingham Forest fans have a transfer wish list of their own and have a number of players they want the Reds to snap up in the summer. Here are five-
Lee Tomlin- The tricky midfielder is on loan to Forest from fellow Championship side Cardiff City and he has made a big impact at the City Ground. The well travelled 29-year-old, who has played for Peterborough United, Middlesbrough, Bournemouth, Bristol City and Cardiff City over the past four years, seems to fit in well at Forest under Karanka.
Costel Pantilimon- The 6ft 8inc goalkeeper is on loan from Premier League side Watford and has impressed for Forest. Their fans are hoping that they can sign the Romanian shot stopper on a permanent basis and have him as their number one for next season.
Tobias Figueiredo- He is on loan from Sporting Lisbon but has shown promising signs in his first few games for Forest. The 24-year-old looks to have a bright future ahead of him and he is another loanee who Forest fans want to tie down on a permanent contract.
Michael Dawson- The Hull City defender nearly joined Forest on deadline day in August but a move collapsed. However, he is out of contract in the summer and Karanka is hopeful of signing him then. He started his career at Forest before moving to Spurs and the Forest fans are dreaming of his return to the City Ground.
Adam Clayton- He knows Karanka well from their time at Middlesbrough together and he could be allowed to leave them in the summer. He would be a very shrewd signing for Forest.
