LEYTON Orient could bolster their Championship ambitions with moves for two strikers with Forest links.
New owner Francesco Becchetti has said he is willing to back former Notts County manager Russell Slade with money for new additions.
And the Orient boss is said to be ready to offer Ishmael Miller a lucrative deal to step down into League One.
Miller is a free agent after being released by the Reds in the summer, with new boss Stuart Pearce staging a mass clear out of those players who were out of contract.
The former West Brom front man, who cost more than £1.5m when he signed for Forest three years ago, has also held talks with Doncaster.
Orient are also reportedly keen on Reds striker Darius Henderson, who has a year left to run on his City Ground contract.
With Matty Fryatt and Lars Veldwijk having been signed over the past month and Simon Cox having looked sharp in pre-season, Henderson could find himself down the pecking order at Forest.
And the Reds may be open to the idea of letting the former Millwall man out on loan, if Orient do step up their interest.
*Former Forest midfielder Simon Gillett will get an extended opportunity to earn a contract with Yeovil.
Glovers boss Gary Johnson says he will not rush into making a decision over the ball playing former Doncaster and Bristol City man.
The 28-year-old was involved in the 1-1 draw against Reading last weekend, playing for 60 minutes.
"Simon hasn't played for a little while and has been training on his own. So he did well to last an hour or so. We were pleased with him," said Johnson.
"I know him well. I think there are parts of his game that I can help with, but he's a good footballer.
"We needed that type of player and so we gave him an opportunity to see what he could do.
"If he wants to stick around for a little while longer, then I'm sure he'll get that opportunity to keep impressing. We won't make that decision after a day-and-a-bit, as he's only trained once and played once.
"He's not a young lad, and he's been around and played against my teams many times, and he's still got something in there that can help someone – and that could be us."
