Nottingham Forest transfer news, transfer rumours, and updates live: Latest on Kelechi Iheanacho

The Magpies are exploring a blockbuster move for former Man United attacker Anthony Elanga as they are eager to sign a new winger before the window shuts at 11 pm. Elanga scored five goals and nine assists in 39 appearances across all competitions last season for Nottingham Forest.

The Swedish winger joined Nottingham in the summer of 2023 and has developed into an integral part of Nuno Espirito Santo’s squad in the past 12 months. Newcastle are looking for a direct replacement for Miguel Almiron who has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia.

Liverpool have rejected a bid for Caoimhin Kelleher who has been the subject of a lot of transfer speculation this summer. The Reds have rejected a cash-plus player offer from Nottingham Forest after offering Matt Turner as part of the deal.

Liverpool values the Republic of Ireland international goalkeeper in the region of £25 million- £30 million and have turned down a proposal from The Tricky Trees. Kelleher is coming off his productive campaign at Liverpool with 26 starting appearances made in the 2023/24 season.

The arrival of Giorgi Mamardashvili next summer would further derail Kelleher’s chances in the first-team squad but Liverpool are reluctant to let the 25-year-old on the deadline day.

According to a recent report from ‘Sportsview.co.uk‘, citing ‘Daily Mail’, Premier League club Nottingham Forest is eyeing a late bid in order to secure a potential transfer move for league rivals Fulham’s attacking midfielder Andreas Pereira before the window shuts.

Pereira’s current contract at Fulham does darts till June 2026.

The reports of Forest’s interest in the player have come as a huge surprise among the Cottagers’ fan base, and there is a belief among them that it is highly unlikely that the Brazilian would be allowed to leave by Marco Silva and Co. considering the important role that he plays in the manager’s game-plans.

After the departure of Joao Palhinha to Bayern Munich, in the first two games of the season for Fulham – Andreas Pereira has been spotted playing a rather deeper role in the midfield alongside Sasa Lukic, to fill in the void caused by Palhinha’s exit.

Nottingham Forest have reportedly failed in the pursuit of Arsenal’s Eddie Nketiah. David Ornstein reports that Forest had been close to finalising a deal for the striker after agreeing a £30m package with Arsenal.

However, disagreements happened discussions over personal terms and talks have collapsed. This is Nketiah’s second move this summer that has fallen through as he waits for a transfer away from the Emirates.

Arsenal winger Eddie Nketiah has agreed on personal terms with Premier League club Nottingham Forest who will reportedly pay £30million for the 25-year-old striker. Nketiah was heavily linked with a move to Marseille but the Ligue 1 outfit could never match Arsenal’s asking price.

Since breaking into the first team in 2018, Nketiahd has scored 38 goals in 168 Arsenal appearances but never managed to nail down a spot in the starting lineup. Nketiah emerged as a top target for Nottingham who held extensive talks with Edu over a £30million transfer fee.

The Arsenal academy graduate is expected to undergo medical this week and the deal could be finalised by Monday.

Nottingham Forest have reportedly tabled a bid for Arsenal forward Eddie Nketiah, who wants to leave the Emirates in order regular first-team football. Earlier this summer, the 25-year-old was heavily linked with a move to Marseille but a move failed to materialise.

Forest have made an opening bid worth £25 million, but Arsenal are holding a fee between £30-35 million for the Arsenal academy graduate. But, Forest are still in talks with the player’s representatives, who is under contract until June 2027.

Eddie Nketiah is currently their top priority and they hope to sign him before the summer transfer window shuts.

With the transfer window is still opening, Nottingham Forest trying to use the opportunity to sign more players to strengthen their squad. The target is Arsenal’s forgotten forward Edde Nketiah. It is not the first time the London-born player was close to leaving Emirates Stadium.

During the summer season break, Nketiah has agreed on personal terms to join the French side Marseille. However, Arsenal blocked the deal as the offer did not meet the club’s expectations. 

David Ornstein from The Athletic wrote that Arsenal just rejected the £25 million offer from Forest, but talks are proceeding. The Gunners expected Forest to meet their £30/35 million price tag to bring Nketiah to City Ground.

Premier League side Nottingham Forest are interested in securing the services of Eddie Nketiah, whose move to Marseille from Arsenal collapsed as the French club are not ready to meet the Gunners’ asking price of €30 million for the forward.

Marseille are not willing to offer more than €25 million for the England international, who has struggled for playing time at Arsenal, since the arrival of Kai Havertz last summer. Nottingham has emerged as a potential destination for the Arsenal outcast.

This is according to Sky Sports journalist Dharmesh Sheth, who claims Nottingham are keen to bolster their attacking options and have identified Nketiah as a potential option this summer.

As per a recent report by ‘Football London’, Premier League club Nottingham Forest continues to be linked with a potential transfer move for Eredivisie side Feyenoord’s Mexican international striker Santiago Giminez.

The links do appear to be valid at this point as Forest’s main striking option Taiwo Awoniyi has been on the sidelines lately due to injury concerns.

While Chris Wood has been playing at the top for the Nuno Espirito Santo-led club, Nottingham Forest can do with someone like Giminez added to their squad strength. ‘Football London’ has laid out that, Santiago Giminez is open to a move if any ‘comparable opportunity’ arrives at his door.

The 23-year-old’s current contract with Feyenoord runs till June 2027.

Ramón Sosa and Talleres president Andrés Fassi have reportedly traveled to England this week. The 24-year-old is a target for Nottingham Forest, and they are pushing to sign the Paraguayan.

According to a report by Bruno Pont, Nottingham submitted a $14 million bid for the winger. They had that offer knocked back and are now working on putting together another deal.

Talleres are confident that a deal will be done swiftly and have thus allowed the player to travel with the president joining him. The winger has not featured for the Argentine club since Copa America as a transfer is on the cards.
