Nottingham Forest are seemingly set to ramp up their attempts to bring another attacker to the City Ground.
Last season, the Reds had Callum Hudson-Odoi, Omari Hutchinson, Dilane Bakwa and Dan Ndoye as the wide options, with limited success from the quartet of wingers.
As a result, Oliver Glasner is keen to add another forward player to his ranks and work is being done with George Syrianos steering the recruitment alongside the head coach.
Now, with Ousmane Diomande set to sign for Forest, it would appear as though the Reds aren’t going to waste time in adding other players to the squad.
Nottingham Forest want Ernest Poku
According to a report from BILD, Poku is now in the sights of Forest with the Bayer Leverkusen star of significant interest to the Reds.
If Forest sign Ernest Poku which of our current wingers would you offload first?
Forest are actually set to play Leverkusen in a friendly before the season starts and Poku could well be with the travelling party.
Poku could be allowed to leave this summer, although the Bundesliga outfit are hoping to recoup around £22 million for his signature.
Multiple Premier League clubs are keen on landing the Dutch performer this summer but Forest do have money to spend after offloading Elliot Anderson.
FILL IN THE GAP: Ernest Poku would be a __/10 signing…
Forest are eyeing the Leverkusen performer.
Poku spent most of last season playing in wide areas, registering 10 assists across the campaign, double the amount of Omari Hutchinson from two games fewer.
That isn’t a slight on Hutchinson given that he’s also a young player and should develop as he gets used to playing more frequently in the Premier League.
Leverkusen are keen to cash in on Poku this summer and with Glasner a big fan of the player it could give Forest the edge over any other potential suitors.
