Forest eyes on Walsall keeper
Nottingham Forest could renew their interest in Walsall goalkeeper Clayton Ince as they try to stave off relegation.
Nottingham Forest could renew their interest in Walsall goalkeeper Clayton Ince as they try to stave off relegation.
The keeper has been in sensational form for Saddlers and his deal expires at the end of the season.
Forest and Swansea were known admirers of the 36-year-old earlier in the season, with the Swans having an approach rejected, and managerless Forest sent a scout to the Banks's for the Saddlers' 1-0 win over Stockport on Boxing Day.
The Championship strugglers, who sacked manager Colin Calderwood on Friday after their 4-2 defeat to Doncaster, are looking for another keeper after Lee Camp admitted he will return to parent club QPR after his loan deal expires.
"The manager who brought me here and wanted me has now left the club," said Camp.
"Nottingham Forest have had the opportunity to sort it and stalled and now I'm going back to QPR."
Camp's departure could open the door for Forest to move for Ince when the transfer window opens on Thursday.
Ince and Saddlers boss Jimmy Mullen had a gentleman's agreement to discuss a contract over Christmas but talks have yet to materialise.
Ince has been one of the Saddlers' top performers this season, making 21 appearances, although he was sidelined by a groin injury for three games. He has been left exposed by his defence in the closing stages of games. Saddlers have conceded 19 goals in the final 20 minutes of matches to see their play-off challenge falter.
