The Championship free agents Nottingham Forest could look at in summer transfer window

January signing Steve Cook has proved to be a terrific addition for Nottingham Forest on a free transfer. And the Reds will be hoping to do some clever business again come the summer.

Whichever division they find themselves in, Forest will no doubt need to be astute in the transfer market come the end of this season. And as Cook has shown, it is possible to bring in great players without shelling out a fee.
