Leeds' attempted move for Birmingham schemer Lee Bowyer - as revealed to you by The Insider earlier this week - has been sensationally hijacked by Nottingham Forest.
It was though that an emotional return to Elland Road for the 34 year old was all but assured, but Billy Davies, mindful of the likely departure of Guy Moussi this summer, is keen to bolster his engine room with some vital experience and has pledged to pay "whatever it takes" to bring the former Charlton and Newcastle man to the City Ground.
Clearly remaining at Birmingham would be an ideal way for Bowyer to wind down his career, as Europa League football beckons, but the club have yet to offer him a new deal and the ongoing rumblings surrounding the finances of owner Carson Yeung may mean that Forest, financed by the wealthy Nigel Doughty, could sway the midfielder's mind.
Forest are also thought to be interested in out-of-favour Wolves forward Andy Keogh, with Joe Garner, David McGoldrick and Dele Adebola likely to leave the club this summer, and Rob Earnshaw is yet to agree terms on a new deal.
