Nottingham Forest could ‘establish status’ by signing £34m South American star
Nottingham Forest signing £34m star could help ‘establish’ themselves in the Premier League.
Nottingham Forest could establish themselves as a Premier League side by spending big on top talent from Europe, transfer insider Dean Jones suggested in an update to GIVEMESPORT.
Forest haven’t been afraid to splash the cash since being promoted to the top flight last season and Jones is tipping the Nottingham-based outfit to be active in the market once again.
Nottingham Forest transfer news
Fresh from winning the Championship play-off final in 2022, Forest wasted no time in using their new-found Premier League riches last summer, eventually finishing the season with an outlay of £160 million (Transfermarkt).
Among the new arrivals were recognisable Premier League names, such as Chris Wood, Jesse Lingard and Dean Henderson, whose experience helped the Tricky Trees from avoiding relegation.
However, alongside the orthodox signings Forest made, there were also some eye-catching arrivals, with three-time Champions League winner Kaylor Navas arriving on loan from Paris Saint-Germain in January.
And now, ahead of their second campaign back in the Premier League, Forest are once again on the lookout for new talent.
One player linked with a move to the City Ground is promising defender Piero Hincapie – a long-time target of European regulars Tottenham Hotspur.
Rewind 12 months ago and Spurs, who were then managed by Antonio Conte, were reported to have been quoted £34 million by Bayer Leverkusen for the Ecuador international’s services.
