Nottingham Forest and Champions League football is a real possibility, and it might lead to some incredible additions.
Something about this season feels hauntingly similar to Leicester City’s surprising Premier League title win, but Liverpool is significantly superior this time around.
However, as Arne Slot has repeatedly stated, Nottingham Forest are the only team to have beaten the league leaders this season.
The January transfer market has opened, and Nuno Espirito Santo has the opportunity to bolster his squad with a few recruits planned for the City Ground.
Interestingly, Forest look to have their sights set on a potential Champions League deal if they qualify, with Victor Osimhen being linked.
Nottingham Forest considering a move for Victor Osimhen
Victor Osimhen has established himself as one of the best strikers in world football over the last few years, and he is currently on loan at Turkish club Galatasaray.
He’s scored 12 goals and provided five assists in 15 appearances this season, demonstrating that he can succeed in another league after dominating Serie A.
Perhaps he’ll even have an opportunity to exhibit his talents in the Premier League, as Nottingham Forest are now being linked with a move.
According to Area Napoli, Nottingham Forest has Victor Osimhen on its list of players to consider if Champions League football is secured.
However, it has been reported that Osimhen’s profile might be appealing to the English club, albeit some members of the management believe he is too pricey financially.
Is Victor Osimhen set to join Nottingham Forest?
A trade for Victor Osimhen at any time appears highly unlikely.
The Nigerian striker commands exorbitant salaries and would cost an arm and a leg, drastically disrupting Nottingham Forest’s structure and current philosophy.
Of course, the Champions League brings a lot of money and might pave the way for a superstar acquisition like Osimhen, but there are already reservations about Evangelos Marinakis.
