Nottingham Forest winger Jota Silva is wanted by Jose Mourinho this summer, with Besiktas also keen on the winger.

Nuno Espirito Santo will be looking for new players, with Forest set to play in the UEFA Conference League next season.

Igor Jesus has signed for Forest from Botafogo, and he will likely be joined by more new faces before the new campaign gets underway in mid-August.

In order for a big overhaul of the squad, some fringe players might be offloaded. Jota Silva is wanted by Fenerbahce, with others now in the mix for his signature.

Silva scored four goals in all competitions after arriving from Vitoria, but only started five times in the Premier League.

Nottingham Forest fans react as Jota Silva is linked with Fenerbahce and Besiktas

It would appear that although Silva did okay during his maiden season at Forest, fans might welcome a departure if the deal was right.

Many supporters have taken to social media, and the consensus is that Forest could be attracting better players with European football on the table.

Another supporter said: “Mendes helping everyone out here, hopefully it’s a good deal and double what we paid. Can see both him and Sosa going and hopefully, Wissa coming in.”

Another fan thinks the money would be ideal and said: “Cash in on him.”

Finally, one supporter has never been a huge fan of his and said: “Don’t rate him. Sell him.”

Forest must plan for Silva departure

With Nuno wanting two new wingers at Forest, the Reds might be in a position where they can afford to let Silva leave the club.

However, Forest should look to get their own players sorted first before moving the likes of Silva on and then regretting the decision should any plans change.

Silva has proved a pretty useful squad player as an impact substitute, but when called upon to start games, he simply hasn’t done enough.

If the price is right and Forest can get their own targets through the door then it makes perfect sense this summer to send Silva on his way.
