Roy Keane is reported to be keen on the veteran forward as he seeks to guide his side away from the choppy waters of relegation, finding himself in a similar position to Billy Davies this time last year when Davies, unsuccessfully tried to tempt Bristol City into parting company with the player. "Dele's such a good pro, and such a good example to our younger players," said Davies, confirming that Ipswich's interest will not be encouraged. Although receiving a fee for a player approaching the twilight of his career could be seen as good business, Adebola's worth to Forest as they chase the riches of the Premier League is hard to put a value on. 13 of his 22 appearances this season have been as a substitute but, in addition to notching 3 goals and 3 assists, the big striker has also played a key role towards the end of games, his strength and control enabling Forest to defend, what have often been slender leads, from the front.
