Nottingham Forest are looking to sign the Spurs Head of Recruitment Paul Mitchell according to the Sun via the Nottingham Post.

The East Midlands club are on the bring of a takeover from a US consortium led by John Jay Moores with the new owners already starting to put their own structure in place at the club.

It has been reported that both Paul Mitchell and his assistant David Webb will take control of transfers at the club in the near future should they decide to leave the London club to make the move to the City Ground.

If Forest can appoint both Paul Mitchell and David Webb it will be a hugely impressive acquisition for a club who desperately need some good news to please frustrated fans.

The Reds are on a torrid run of form after losing again to Barnsley on Monday and fans will hope that the takeover can be completed as soon as possible before their season gets even worse.

On the pitch, the Reds were downed 1-0 by Paul Heckingbottom's Barnsley at the City Ground in their last league match, which ultimately puts manager Philippe Montanier under serious pressure.

Nottingham Forest fans... How impressive would the signing of Mitchell and Webb be? Could they sign the players to help push the club up the table? Let us know what you think in the comments below!
