Lee Tomlin has a great impact at Forest when he signed on loan from Cardiff in January, scoring four stunning goals and assisting three more.
The 29-year-old has been linked with a move back to the city ground, with Karanka claiming the forward wanted to stay at the end of last season.
But do Forest even need him?
Nottingham Forest clearly mean business as they build a squad they hope can challenge for promotion this season, having brought in Joao Carvalho from Benfica as well as other attacking loans from Benfica and Monaco.
Tomlin can dazzle and frustrate in equal measure, so should Forest make a permanent move for him?

At the right price, I’d bring Tomlin back on board for his experience.
Karanka knows and trusts Tomlin, which will mean he’s still in the Spaniard’s thoughts.
Of course, Forest won’t want to pay silly money for Tomlin, but either on-loan or on the cheap, he’d be a good addition.
