Nottingham Forest are reportedly interested in signing Chesterfield midfielder Tendayi Darikwa.
The 21-year-old, whose current deal with the club runs until 2015, has been linked with a number of Premier League sides over the last few months.
However, according to PA, Forest boss Billy Davies has already made his interest known after Darikwa impressed during a pre-season friendly between the two sides in July.
Darikwa, who was born in Nottingham and still lives in the city, joined Chesterfield when he was just 16.
