NOTTINGHAM Forest are being linked with one of the top defenders in the Premier League over the last five years.
Big Norwegian centre back Brede Hangeland was released by relegated Fulham earlier this month after his contract came to an end.
And the 32-year-old’s odds on moving to the City Ground have been cut down to 8/1, leading odds comparison site Oddschecker.com can reveal.
However, it is understood Hangeland, who spent six-and-a-half years at Craven Cottage, is likely to be playing his football in the top flight of English football again next season.
A trio of London clubs – Crystal Palace (5/2), QPR (2/1) and West Ham (4/1) – are favourites to land one of the hottest prospects this summer, in terms of those players on offer on a free transfer.
Hangeland is reported to have delayed a decision on his future while he goes on holiday although it seems unlikely to move to the Championship, or to the Reds for that matter.
Stuart Pearce will have strength in depth when it comes to selecting his centre-back pairing next month, with Jamaal Lascelles, Jack Hobbs, Kelvin Wilson and Danny Collins in the Forest squad.
Oddschecker also show that Grant Holt is 12/1 to return to Forest this summer.
The Aston Villa frontman is expected to stay at Villa Park and is best odds of 6/4 to stay. But should he move on, Forest are one of a number of potential candidates for his signature.
Jordan Rhodes continues to be linked with a move away from Blackburn Rovers before the start of next season and is just 2/1 to move to Norwich City.
A transfer to Forest is a 10/1 shot, making Pearce’s side the fourth favourites to sign him.
Rumours also remain that Forest are stepping up their pursuit of Peterborough striker Britt Assombalonga.
Meanwhile, with the new season fast approaching and the 2014/15 fixture list to be announced on Wednesday at 9am at www.nottinghampost.com, the Reds are now best price odds of 20/1 to win the Championship and 13/2 to achieve promotion.
