Newcastle Transfer News: Nottingham Forest Eye Haris Vuckic

In-form on-loan Rangers forward Vuckic is attracting interest from the Championship.

Newcastle United attacking-midfielder Haris Vuckic has been in fine form for Rangers in the Scottish Championship - and Nottingham Forest are now interested in signing the Slovenian. The Daily Mail claim that Forest want to add to their attacking contingent for next season in order to launch a tilt at promotion, with Vuckic eyed up as one potential incoming loan deal. The 22-year-old Slovenian international has scored nine goals and contributed three assists in 17 matches from attacking-midfield for Rangers since moving on transfer deadline day in January.
And, with just a year remaining on his Magpies contract, his future could well lie away from Tyneside. Current interim head coach John Carver allowed Vuckic to go out on loan in January even though his squad was paper thin - and so if the former remains in the St James' Park dugout then it is impossible to see the Slovenian also staying in the North East. Vuckic is likely to move this summer - either on loan or on a permanent deal - even though he has never really been given a proper run in the Newcastle first-team side since coming up through the youth ranks.
