So far this summer, six players have arrived at Forest, and a number of attackers are now being connected with a transfer to Trentside.
Forest were linked with Vitor Roque from Barcelona earlier today, and Santiago Gimenez from Feyenoord is also on the shortlist.
With only six days till the big game, Forest’s prospects of bringing someone in before Saturday appear minimal, but they do have Chris Wood and Taiwo Awoniyi.
Forest reportedly attempted to lure another striker to the City Ground just last week.
Nottingham Forest are stepping up their search for a new striker ahead of their Premier League opening against Bournemouth.
Forest reportedly attempted to lure another striker to the City Ground just last week.
Nottingham Forest had an offer rejected for Porto star Evanilson.
This news comes from Fabrizio Romano, but as fans, we should hold off on getting too excited just yet.
That’s because Evanilson is a guy Porto wants, and they don’t want to sell him during this transfer window.
Bournemouth have made a bid for the Brazilian youngster after selling Dominic Solanke to Tottenham over the weekend.
This might imply that two teams competing on Saturday will face off for the same player.
Both clubs would love to recruit a striker before the transfer season closes, and it would be interesting to watch whether either club comes with a second proposal.
Arsenal’s Gabriel is an admirer of Evanilson. He described Porto as a ‘high quality’ player prior to their Champions League match.
Evanilson would be a good addition for Forest.
The 24-year-old would be a statement signing for either Bournemouth or Forest, assuming a deal is reached.
Evanilson has been at Porto for several years, having joined from Tombense in 2020.
Last season, he scored 25 goals in 42 appearances for the Portuguese giants, bringing his total to 60 goals in 154 games.
It’s unclear how much Forest would have to spend to sign the player, who is under contract with Porto until 2027.
The race appears to be heating up, with Forest going all in for a striker before the window closes.
It feels like an exciting time to be a Forest supporter, and maybe the club will test the waters again with Evanilson.
