We give our verdict on the rumour that former Celtic man Lee Naylor is set to join Forest on a free transfer.
Billy Davies had been open with his discontent at Forest's lack of a natural left-back throughout last season, and with Lee Naylor's contract at Celtic expiring, this rumour certainly looks like it has the potential for substance.
According to as of yet unconfirmed reports the acquisition could be announced as soon as Tuesday.
Naylor joined Celtic from Wolves for a fee of £600,000 and racked up over 300 appearances for the club during a four year spell in which he established himself as a first team regular.

We're not sure where we stand on this one although it would make sense as Lee Naylor is a talented player in just the position we need.
The fact that he was rumoured to be a target of Forest's during the January transfer window also stacks in this rumours favour as knowing that he would be released on a free could have caused the Transfer Panel to wait before making their move.
The chances of this move happening for us, 6/10.
