Midfielder Chris McCann has attracted interest from at least four clubs, according to reports.
The 25-year-old is available on a free transfer after he was released by Burnley at the end of the season.
Nottingham Forest boss Billy Davies is keen to take the Irishman to the City Ground, but according to the Nottingham Post, he will need to fend off several other sides for his signature.
McCann's former boss Owen Coyle was appointed as the manager of Wigan Athletic on Friday, and he is expected to make a move for his former player.
Hull City and Leicester City are also interested in signing the former Republic of Ireland Under-19 international.
