Chris Wood has undergone surgery for a knee issue, while Igor Jesus and Taiwo Awoniyi have struggled to deliver for Forest, who sit seven points clear of the Premier League relegation zone. Nicolas Dominguez's strike and a late penalty from Morgan Gibbs-White secured a 2-1 victory over relegation rivals West Ham last time out, but Dyche acknowledged the need for more options up top.

The paper announce that the former Chelsea man isn't likely to leave for Lazio in January. The primary reason is Allegri, because he 'considers him very important for the team'. Despite Maurizio Sarri's advances - a coach he worked well with in London - RLC isn't expected to go anywhere. Even if there were an agreement to begin negotiations, a financial problem would still remain. Loftus-Cheek's salary of €4m net per season would significantly complicate any potential negotiations to take him to the capital.

Lead United are interested in signing the Union Berlin defender Danilho Doekhi. The 27-year-old Netherlands international has done quite well for the German club, and he has attracted the attention of the Premier League club now. Leeds are hoping to tighten up at the back, and they need more quality in that area of the pitch. Signing the 27-year-old defender could prove to be a wise decision.

"It's a next crazy month in football, and I don't know. "I have experienced so many different situations that you thought the player is already here, and then he is not here, or you thought the player would definitely stay, and then he leaves. "The next 31 days will be everything is possible like always, and everything I say now might be wrong in two days."

Christopher Nkunku has made a breakthrough, opening his Serie A account after scoring in the Coppa Italia. This remains a transfer market issue to monitor in the coming days and weeks. Clearly, the brace against Verona has changed sentiment on Nkunku. One match won't change the assessments of all parties involved, but one match can certainly spark a spark, it can change the timing of certain discussions. And that's why I can confirm that there's some movement around Nkunku.

I want to play. I'm not ready to call it quits by any means. I don't feel old. I've still got that hunger to play and do well. I just want the opportunity to show what I can still do. I feel like I can add value on the pitch but also show the right way to train, the right way to act on and off the pitch. I'm in the bracket now where I've been lucky enough to play for top clubs, win things and work with top managers. I know a lot more now than I did when I started out.
