Nottingham Forest weigh up Dominic Solanke move
Forest’s 2023 sale of Brennan Johnson for £47.5m now looks shrewd, with the winger enduring difficult spells since and reportedly heading to Everton in a swap with Dwight McNeil.
Forest have missed out on wing-back target Anan Khalaili, with Crystal Palace close to a £21m deal. Ousmane Diomande is still set to arrive as Forest look at other options.
Forest are linked with Dominic Solanke as they seek a striker. Ange Postecoglou previously called him 'fantastic', but his injury record makes any deal a major risk.
Oliver Glasner said Forest’s squad potential and Evangelos Marinakis’ ambition changed his mind after earlier rejecting the job because there was no European football.
Ousmane Diomande is in London undergoing a medical before joining Forest from Sporting. A €40m move is on track, with the official announcement delayed until Tuesday by logistics.
Dilane Bakwa is prioritising a move from Forest to Ipswich Town. Stade Rennais are interested, but his preference and wages have left the French club struggling.
Real Betis want Arnaud Kalimuendo after his strong loan at Eintracht Frankfurt. The Forest forward could be tempted by Champions League football, though Glasner has used him in pre-season.
Forest appear close to signing Ousmane Diomande after weeks of talks, with attention set to turn to a £25m replacement for Elliot Anderson.
Oliver Glasner has hinted James McAtee could replace Elliot Anderson, using him in a deeper pre-season role. The spot alongside Ibrahim Sangare appears McAtee’s to lose.
