nottingham forest Arrangements are underway to sell an “outstanding” player worth £20m to a… Premier League According to Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg, this month’s rivals.
Forest face a busy January transfer window
The Crafty Trees are on the lookout for a new striker this month, although given the New Zealand international’s incredible performances in front of goal this season, any new arrivals will likely have to fill a back-up role for Chris Wood. Wood has scored 13 league goals this season and played a key role in the team’s unexpected push for a Champions League spot.
Feyenoord forward Santiago Jimenez is one of the players Forest are interested in, with rumors of a possible £35m move gaining traction in the past few weeks.
Moscow Spartak Manfred Ugard Another striker is Nuno SantoThe team is well aware of this, having been impressed by his goalscoring record in the Russian Premier League this season.
As rumors continue about a new striker heading to the City Ground, there is some talk about Taiwo Awoniyi resigns this monthBut Sky Sports’ Lyle Thomas and Rob Dorsett have since said the deal will not happen if a replacement is not found.
However, recent updates from Florian Plettenberg seem to indicate that Awoniyi is likely to leave his post soon, as West Ham United are now making a serious attempt to sign the striker.
Negotiations are currently underway to discuss the complexities of the deal, with Forest trying to hold out for a fee £20 millionalthough that figure would need to fall for the Hammers to agree to terms.
Given that Trichtree are unwilling to sanction a transfer unless a replacement is found, their willingness to push ahead with a sale of the Nigerian could be a sign that they are confident they have found the right target.
Tough decision for Forest
It would be a shame to let the 27-year-old leave as he has played a key role in rebuilding Nottingham Forest as a Premier League club since arriving ahead of the 2022-23 season.
The former Union Berlin man scored 10 goals on his Premier League debut and although his second season was hampered by injury problems, he still contributed nine goals in 20 games.
Given the level of Wood’s performance this season, it was always going to be a very tough ask for the Nigeria international to force his way into contention, so he may feel a move needs to be made for the good of his career.
If Forest have found a suitable replacement and they can offload the striker for around £20m, it could be a good deal for all parties including West Ham United finds itself with limited forward options, with both Nicolas Feilkruger and Michail Antonio currently sidelined. .
These people have “Excellent“It’s sad at times for Forest so it would be sad if he left this winter but it’s probably the right decision.
