Nottingham Forest will look to bolster their striking options next season with the inclusion of both Armando Broja and Keinan Davis, FootballTransfers understands.
The newly-promoted Championship side will face a mass exodus of players this summer, including last season’s star striker Lewis Grabban, who’s facing a departure with his contract up this month, and Lyle Taylor, who will be sold on to a Championship side for next season.
The Midlands outfit will indeed look to make Keinan Davis’ loan move permanent.
And as well as tying down the Aston Villa attacker on a deal, they will opt to make a play for Broja, who has impressed on loan at Southampton this year.

Both stars have been linked to the side but we are told that Forest wish to bring in both ahead of the new campaign.
FootballTransfers knows Broja is sounding out potential moves away from Stamford Bridge and has already been linked with Everton and West Ham.
It certainly means that the 20-year-old does not see his future at Stamford Bridge - in the short-term at least.
Meanwhile, Davis has been informed that he will not receive much game-time if he goes back to Birmingham.
FootballTranfers is told, though, that Forest really enjoyed the 24-year-old’s spell at the club. However, they refuse to pay over the odds for the player, despite their interest.
The club are keen on competing next season in the Premier League and want to make an ambitious splash on the transfer market.
Back where they belong
The Reds sealed their dramatic return to the Premier League after a 23-year absence after a 1-0 win over Huddersfield at Wembley last week.
The two-time European champions will enjoy top-flight football for the first time since 1999.
“I love being at this football club. It isn't about me, but it has changed my life professionally anyway.My family are here and the players' families are here," manager Steve Cooper said after the dramatic win:
“The supporters are here and Stuart Pearce will tell you, this football club is about belonging of a city. It comes together on a matchday. We've brought Nottingham to Wembley, we've took over the place and here we are in the Premier League."
