Hull City and Portsmouth tracking Nottingham Forest midfielder
The 20-year-old has found his first team opportunities limited under Aitor Karanka this season and both Hull City and Portsmouth are reported to be interested.
He has made just one appearance for the Reds this campaign - the first 45 minutes of the Carabao Cup win over Bury in August - despite Karanka being impressed through the summer.
