Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cotterill has made Sheffield United's Stephen Quinn one his main transfer targets this month, according to Sky Sports News.
The 25-year-old has became a firm favourite with the Blades faithful since joining the club in 2005.
However, United could be forced to sell the midfielder because of the financial difficulties the club is facing.
Cotterill is hoping to take full advantage by submitting an offer of around £350,000.
Quinn has made 27 appearances for League One United this season, scoring three goals in the process.
