Nottingham Forest and Birmingham City are both battling for survival in the Championship.
According to a report in the Daily Mail, both Nottingham Forest and Birmingham City are interested in Oxford United centre-back Chey Dunkley.
Dunkley’s contract with the League One side is set to expire in the summer, and he is yet to agree fresh terms.
The 25-year-old looks likely to depart the Kassam Stadium in the summer, and both Forest and Birmingham are keen to take him.
Dunkley was offered a new deal by Oxford, but he has turned it down, which has plunged his future into doubt.
Dunkley has played a key role for Michael Appleton’s men this season, making 52 appearances across all competitions.
Forest and Birmingham are now set to compete for the defender’s signature, and their hopes may rest on which team survives this season.
Forest and Birmingham both go into the final day of the season this weekend, with their Championship futures far from secure.
Blackburn Rovers currently occupy the final spot in the relegation zone, but both Forest and Birmingham can be caught, if Tony Mowbray’s side pick up a victory.
