Nottingham Forest are targeting Benfica's Goncalo Ramos and Marseille's Bamba Dieng as they look to bolster their attack.
The Premier League new boys had a disappointing start to their season at Newcastle on Saturday and their owners are keen to keep strengthening their squad before the close of the transfer window at the end of this month.
As well as another left-back and two midfielders, they want a striker and have added Ramos and Dieng to their extensive list.
Their opening offer for Ramos has fallen short of Benfica’s valuation for the 21-year old who has also attracted interest from Wolves.
Highly-rated Dieng, 22, has been scouted by Newcastle, Leeds, West Ham, Crystal Palace and Celtic who see potential in the pacy Senegal international.
Indeed, Newcastle made an offer for Dieng in January and he has remained on their radar.
Forest are determined to land at least four new signings for manager Steve Cooper to give him a squad to compete with.
They made enquiries for Villarreal left back Pervis Estupinan on Monday and remain keen to add Manchester United midfielder James Garner and Morgan Gibbs-White from Wolves.
Cooper's side will look to bounce back from their defeat to Newcastle when they take on West Ham at the Forest Ground on Sunday.

If Ramos were to leave benfica it would be to join Nottingham forest. He would get much more playing time there compared to PSG

Buy every trash and go back to Championship U already have 13 signings and you didn't even score a goal Vs Newcastle
Most of their 1st team players last year were on loan there. Garner Spence Zinckernagel Davis.. Now They got many new players who played their first match vs Newcastle obviously it's not gonna be easy for them to play as a team right away, what do you expect ?
