Nottingham Forest's David McGoldrick is the latest player to be linked with a move to Portman Road. The 25 year old striker is currently out of favour at the City Ground.

With striker DJ Campbell having returned to QPR, Town would appear to be one man light in the forwards department. Whilst boss Mick McCarthy has already stated he would like to bring Campbell to Portman Road on a full deal, a move is by no means certain for the 31 year old.

With that in mind and also with an eye on adding more depth up-front even if Campbell joins, media reports are circulating that David McGoldrick could be a possible target. The 6ft 1in forward spent time on loan at Coventry late last year where he managed to score 16 goals in 22 games in what was a very successful loan spell for the Nottingham born player.

McGoldrick started his career as a trainee, at his current clubs arch rivals, Notts County, where after being involved in just four league games he joined South cost club Southampton in 2004 where he scored 12 times in 64 league games, also spending time on loan at Notts County, Bournemouth and Port Vale.

The marksman joined current club Nottingham Forest in 2009 for a fee said to be around the £1M mark with Southampton in financial crisis. Whilst at Forest, the player has scored 8 goals in 63 league games and in addition to the previously mentioned loan spell at Coventry, the player also spent a short time on loan at Yorkshire side Sheffield Wednesday.

Update: Since this article went to press McGoldrick has signed on loan
