Leeds United’s pursuit of Jonathan Rowe could give Nottingham Forest a transfer lift this summer.
Nottingham Forest have made six signings so far this summer and they don’t seem prepared to rest on their laurels.
Manager Nuno Espirito Santo is still keen to add further additions and is in the market for a wide player, with Fiorentina’s Nico Gonzalez linked.
They’ve also been credited with an interest in a Leeds attacker and the Championship outfit are now trying to sign a player who plays in his position…
Will Wilfried Gnonto become available for Nottingham Forest?
Nottingham Forest News published an article in June on the club’s £16.9 million bid for Leeds United winger Wilfried Gnonto.
The bid was clearly rejected, as the Whites are looking for around £35 million before considering selling the Italy international.
Leeds are now looking to sign Jonathan Rowe from Norwich City, who plays in the same position.
So if he were to join, could their stance on Gnonto soften somewhat?
Only time will tell but clearly Forest’s chances of landing his signature would increase.
Wilfried Gnonto’s profile
If Forest were to rekindle an agreement with Gnonto, his probable arrival would likely be the best of the lot from their summer business.
The 2003-born was considered for the Golden Boy award in 2022, demonstrating how highly regarded he is.
While he battled for consistent game time last season, he still managed to score nine goals and provide three assists while playing on the right wing, his least favorite position.
Gnonto is far more effective as a left winger, thus Forest may maximize his potential by putting him there.
