Nottingham Forest have been linked with a move for Peterborough United forward Siriki Dembele – and supporters have been reacting on Twitter.
The 24-year-old is wanted by several clubs with Forest among Celtic, Rangers, Crystal Palace and Fulham in the race for his signature.
Dembele has scored five goals and registered five assists during the 2020/21 campaign with Peterborough doing well in League One.
It has previously been claimed that Posh want £15 million for their talisman, although the pandemic might force some lower league clubs to cut their cloth accordingly.
If Forest can do a deal at a price which suits all parties, then he could become a very shrewd signing indeed.

Forest have Lewis Grabban and Lyle Taylor at the club right now but both players are in their thirties.
With that in mind, the Reds are going to need a new striker in the next couple of transfer windows as they look to the future.
Dembele has developed magnificently since arriving from Grimsby in 2018 and can operate either up front or on the flanks.
Following links to the City Ground, supporters took to Twitter to discuss whether he’d be a decent addition.
Here is what Forest fans were saying about Dembele.
Definetly the type of player should be looking at, up & coming but imagine we would get priced out tbh.

Would prefer him to Grosicki tbh given his age and potential. #NFFC

Saw him just before lockdown and he’s a top player, very creative. To be fair I’m not sure he’ll get an amazing amount of goals but he’s certainly create a bucket full
