The striker search at Nottingham Forest continues and yesterday was a little bit like an episode of Hollyoaks for Coronation Street.
It was claimed early on Monday that Santiago Gimenez was close to signing for Forest, with everything pretty much settled.
However, later in the day, it emerged that the move was once again on hold, with Gimenez not entirely convinced about Forest.
On Sunday, the club had been left disappointed when Eddie Nketiah decided he didn’t want to move away from London – despite a deal looking close.
Still, it looks as though Forest have other irons in the fire and the soap opera looks set to rumble on through to Friday’s deadline day drama.
Nottingham Forest make offer for Brentford star Yoane Wissa
According to the Daily Mail, Forest are stepping up their efforts to sign a new centre-forward before the transfer window closes.
Gimenez and Nketiah might be off the radar but now Wissa is the subject of a £20 million bid from Forest.
Wolves are also keen on the winger but they’re struggling to finance deals before the window closes this month.
Brentford are quite reluctant to let Wissa leave and want him to sign a new contract in the wake of Ivan Toney’s potential departure.
Wissa has started the first two games for Brentford this season, with Toney set to head off to play in Saudi Arabia in the coming days.
The 27-year-old has been with the Bees since 2021 when he checked in from Ligue 1 outfit FC Lorient.
In 112 appearances for the West Londoners, he’s scored 30 goals and registered nine assists for the Premier League outfit.
