Anton Stach was wanted by Nottingham Forest during the summer transfer window but Tottenham, Liverpool and West Ham are now all in the mix to sign him. According to 90Min, the player is now the subject of interest from three huge Premier League clubs.
Stach is a supremely talented player. Forest wanted him as they tried to strengthen their midfield ranks during a hectic summer. He was targeted shortly after the Reds had signed his Mainz teammate Moussa Niakhate but a deal couldn’t be struck.
The Bundesliga outfit will have a big decision to make at the end of the 2022/23 campaign. Stach will have just a year remaining on his deal and as a result, Fabrizio Romano believes that he will be available for a bargain price of between £16m and £18m.
Forest may fancy getting themselves a bargain deal. However, they have bigger fish to fry right now and they must ensure they remain in the Premier League first and foremost. Once they have done that, perhaps they can draw up a list of targets for the summer.
Liverpool, Tottenham and West Ham will all provide attractive propositions to the player. Forest might be relying on Niakhate getting in the ear of his former teammate if they’re to pip the Premier League trio to his signature.
Stach was wanted by Forest but trio are now keen
The 24-year-old has been a regular in the team for Mainz during 2022/23. He’s made 22 appearances for the club, scoring once and claiming three assists largely operating in his usual defensive midfield position.
Stach is versatile though. He has showcased this season alone that he can play as a more conventional central midfielder or further forward as a number 10.
The talented player has made two appearances for the German national team but wasn’t included in the squad for the World Cup in Qatar last year.
Now, a move to the Premier League beckons. Liverpool, Tottenham and West Ham will all be in the market for a new midfielder in the summer and Forest will have to move quickly if they want to snare Stach to the City Ground.
