Frank Lampard’s Derby County side and Aitor Karanka’s Nottingham Forest are both said to be keen on Jack Marriott.

Nottingham Forest should steal a march on Derby County in the race to sign Jack Marriott by bidding now.

The Daily Mirror have reported how both Forest and Derby are chasing the Peterborough United striker, who netted 33 times last season.

Derby are said to be waiting for Matej Vydra is sold to finance a deal for Marriott.

And that means that Forest should put the pressure on the Rams, by bidding now.

The Reds have an opportunity to seal a deal for the striker, before Frank Lampard’s side have a chance to react.

Derby are thought to be open to selling Vydra this summer, but they are yet to agree a deal.

And without raising the money through the sale of Vydra, they reportedly don’t have the funds to afford a bid for Marriott.

Forest, therefore, could benefit from bidding in the coming days, to ensure that they have a clean run for the forward.

And if they are could bring in Marriott before their rivals even have a chance, then that would have to be considered a major positive for Aitor Karanka’s side, as they look to improve their attack next season.
