Nottingham Forest enter race to sign Aston Villa striker Ross McCormack?

Aston Villa striker Ross McCormack has reportedly attracted late interest from Nottingham Forest.

Earlier this month, Villa boss Steve Bruce criticised the fitness levels of McCormack and he has since fallen out of favour at the club.

A number of Championship teams have been linked with his signature and it has previously been suggested that the Scottish international was keen on a return to Fulham.

However, according to BBC Radio Nottingham, Forest want to secure a deal for the 30-year-old before the end of the day.

McCormack has scored just three goals in 20 league appearances since Villa spent £12m on him during the summer.
