Nottingham Forest midfielder Henri Lansbury is wanted by both Aston Vila and Derby County.
According to a report in the Nottingham Post, Henri Lansbury is ready to play for Nottingham Forest again.
Aston Villa and Derby County are both still tracking the central-midfielder, and would be prepared to offer him an increase in wages.
However, Lansbury is keen to get back playing football again – after having time off due to the transfer speculation.
Lansbury is set to tell Forest caretaker boss Gary Brazil that he is ready to feature against Bristol City at the weekend, should he still be at the City Ground.
A fully focused Lansbury’s presence in midfield would be a major boost for Forest, as he remains one of their star players.
However, Villa and Derby have not given up on completing a deal for their main January target yet.
Derby have already seen an offer rejected, while Villa are waiting for a response from the Reds.
Both Villa and the Rams are said to be willing to offer Lansbury £40,000-a-week to sign.
Lansbury has made 19 appearances for Forest this season, scoring on six occasions.
