Nottingham Forest are going in search of a host of new players this summer as they look to combat several outgoing transfers already during the current window.
Anthony Elanga moved to Newcastle in the highest profile transfer so far involving Forest, with Danilo and Ramon Sosa also leaving for pastures new.
With Elanga a vitally important player in the team, wingers are absolutely the order of the day, with Dan Ndoye now linked with a move to Forest.
Nuno Espirito Santo will want more than one winger this summer and now it would appear that the club are trying to prioritise wide players this month.
Nottingham Forest make £27m offer for Baris Alper Yilmaz
According to Gazete Kritik in Turkey, Forest have now submitted another proposal for Yilmaz as the Reds look to add to their squad before the new season.
Galatasaray are resigned to losing Yilmaz this summer and are awaiting an offer that meets the valuation which they have placed on the player.
Forest have already had bids rejected for Yilmaz but now they look to be stepping up their efforts to bring new players to the football club.
Yilmaz typically operates on the left or right flank and last season bagged 14 goals and registered six assists playing in the Galatasaray team.
Yilmaz would be useful Forest signing
The beauty of signing Yilmaz is that he can play on both sides and at £30 million, he wouldn’t cost a significant amount to make him too much of a risk.
At 25-years-old, Yilmaz is close to his prime and that would enable him to come to Forest and likely hit the ground running on Trentside.
Having never played in the Premier League, Yilmaz would have a small settling-in period, but having played in European competitions before that would be an element that could help Forest.
It remains to be seen what the figure will be that Galatasaray would accept for Yilmaz but it does at least appear as though the player would be keen on the move.
