Nottingham Forest have launched another bid to sign Middlesbrough midfielder Grant Leadbitter, according to a report.
The 27-year-old's future at The Riverside has been the subject of speculation over the summer, with both Forest and Blackburn Rovers believed to be interested.
Boro manager Tony Mowbray recently expressed his confidence that Leadbitter will stay on Teeside.
Despite being deterred in his attempts to land the former Sunderland trainee on a few occasions this summer, Sky Sports News reports that Forest boss Billy Davies has not given up hope of snaring his man.
Leadbitter joined Boro on a free transfer from Ipswich Town last summer.
