Leeds United and Nottingham Forest are reportedly keen on Bolton ace Zach Clough.
According to the Daily Mail, Nottingham Forest have lodged an enquiry for Bolton Wanderers attacker Zach Clough as the transfer deadline approaches, with Leeds United also keen.
Forest may not have a permanent manager having sacked Philippe Montanier earlier this month, but they look set to be busy during the final hours of the transfer window.

Clough, 21, has come up through the ranks with Bolton, and has hit nine goals in League One this season, building on 13 goals in his previous two seasons.
A striker or attacking midfielder, Clough has emerged as one of the most talented young players in the Football League, and he has regularly been linked with a move away from the Macron Stadium.
It’s now believed that Forest – who saw Burton boss Nigel Clough reject the club earlier this week – are now moving for another Clough, submitting an enquiry about a deal for Zach before tonight’s deadline.
