Nottingham Forest revisit Engels as Newcastle eye same target
Forest are still expected to strengthen before 2026/27, with Oliver Glasner tasked with reviving hopes of a return to European competition.
Newcastle have made an approach for a player Nottingham Forest have bid for three times, with their need for a right-back growing amid summer changes at St James’ Park.
Forest rejected Tottenham Hotspur, Porto and Juventus approaches for Igor Jesus, who is expected to play behind the striker. Morato’s camp are encouraged by Oliver Glasner’s arrival.
Forest could revive their move for Arne Engels after Celtic set an asking price of about £25m, matching Forest’s previous bid, as West Ham weigh up their next move.
Forest’s move for Ousmane Diomande remains delayed, with Sporting demanding €40m guaranteed and Forest pushing for bonuses. Diomande missed Friday’s 4-1 friendly defeat because of transfer talks.
