Hearts face deadline day battle over Jason Holt
Forest, managed by Scot Billy Davies, have already had two bids rejected for the Scotland under-21 internationalist, but they are not willing to take ‘no’ for answer with Hearts in serious financial trouble.
Forest raided Scotland last month to re-sign central defender Kelvin Wilson in a £2.5 million deal from Celtic and have made an impressive start to their Championship season. Although they lost 2-1 at Wigan on Saturday, it was their first league defeat and they are fourth, just three points behind Blackpool and QPR.
