Nottingham Forest might currently be in Portugal, stepping up their fitness preparations, but behind the scenes, the work to sign new players doesn’t stop.

Forest have sold Anthony Elanga to Newcastle and as a result, new wingers are absolutely the order of the day, with Ramon Sosa also moving on from last season’s squad.

Morgan Gibbs-White is also being linked with Tottenham this summer and things might get worse from a transfer point of view before they get better.

Danilo has joined Botafogo and right now, the Forest squad does feel considerably weaker than it was last season when the campaign drew to a close.

Fabrizio Romano delivers update on Dan Ndoye move to Nottingham Forest

According to the transfer guru, Romano, Forest are going to be insisting on signing Ndoye this summer, with Napoli also looking at the player.

The club’s first bid of around £27 million has been rejected, but it’s not thought that Forest will be deterred with another offer set to come from the Reds.

Ndoye has already said yes to the proposal on the table when it comes to personal terms from Forest and if a fee can be agreed, this one should go through pretty quickly.

Bologna would like to keep Ndoye beyond the summer transfer window but with Forest holding a strong interest, they might just be forced into a sale.

Forest need wingers quickly

With Elanga and Sosa leaving and Jota Silva continuing to be linked with a move away from the City Ground, the need for wingers is pretty desperate.

Given how Nuno Espirito Santo likes his teams to play on the counter-attack, it’s imperative that a player like Elanga can be added to the ranks.

Although Ndoye isn’t as quick as Elanga, he does possess plenty of flair and bagged nine goals and claimed six assists during the 2024/25 campaign.

Hopefully, Forest’s next offer can prove more successful and the Reds can get a deal for Ndoye over the line before other clubs start to show an interest.
