Town target Luke Chambers is understood to have returned home to Nottingham last night having spent much of yesterday at Portman Road with his move to the Blues believed to be close to breaking down. The 26-year-old is thought to be weighing up various alternative options with Leeds and a number of other clubs also said to be interested.
Chambers underwent a medical and took a tour of the ground and training facilities yesterday but talks which continued well into the evening were unable to be concluded.
Blues boss Paul Jewell has Chambers well up his list of summer targets and it would be a huge blow to see the former Northampton man, a free agent since his Forest contract expired at the weekend, move elsewhere.
In addition to weekend links with Leeds, whose takeover is on the verge of being agreed, Chambers has previously been mentioned in connection with West Brom, Wigan and Leicester City.
