An unnamed Championship club have moved to secure the services of Tottenham and Wales international full-back Chris Gunter, BBC Sport Wales understands.
The club are believed to want to buy him, although they are also keen on a season-long loan.
Gunter, 19, joined Spurs from Cardiff for about £3m in January 2008 but has made only three Premier League appearances this season.
He joined Nottingham Forest on loan in March and impressed at the City Ground.
Newport-born Gunter said in April he had enjoyed the move and he did not rule out a return to the club.
"It's a fantastic club with brilliant people and it couldn't have gone any better," said Gunter, who went on to help Forest maintain their Championship status.
"I'm contracted to Spurs, but if they tell me to go for a season on loan then it's something to consider."
It could well be another team, having seen how well Gunter played for us and also heard his words about being willing to join a club in Forest's position. Hopefully if it is another club then it will prompt Forest to get in quick and match whatever bid has been made. From Gunter's words I would hope he would choose us if clubs had equivalent bids.
If he ended up somewhere else though we couldn't complain too much. Last season we stepped in and pinched Anderson from under Swansea's noses!
I hope/imagine it is us. As has been said before, it would be a fantastic signing. Another thing that should go in our favour is the fact that Gunter himself publically expressed his desire to re-sign for the club.
