Nottingham Forest boss Aitor Karanka has led his side to the outskirts of the play offs so far this season.

According to the Nottingham Post, Aitor Karanka has two additions he really wants to make at Nottingham Forest in January.

Forest have pushed up to the edge of the play offs over the first half of the season, but Karanka still feels that there is room for improvement at the City Ground.

The Reds now have their sights on bringing in a full-back who can play on either side of their defence and another winger with pace.

Forest have had to name a makeshift defence on occasion, with Karanka being forced to play players out of position.

The Reds’ forward options have generally been very good this term, but Forest reportedly still feel that they could become more of a threat with a speedy winger added.

If Karanka gets his wishes then Forest will have one of the most expensively assembled squads in the Championship.

The Reds are currently in seventh place in the Championship table, one place outside the play off spots.
