The Nottingham forest faces fierce competition to sign a new winger

The Reds have just seen Anthony Elaga exchange the city’s land for St James’ Park, therefore for this transfer window, the forest and the owner Evangelos Marinakis will be on the market for a new winger to replace the Swedish international.

It was revealed during the weekend that the forest progressed in talks to sign Johan Bakayoko of the PSV Eindhoven and was even considered one of the main ones to sign the Belgian. The 22 -year -old is without a contract next summer, and an agreement of 22 million pounds sterling could be sufficient to bring him to England.

However, the Premier League team is now confronted with strong opposition in its pursuit of Bakayoko, because according to Florian Prettenberg, RB Leipzighave concluded a verbal agreement with Bakayoko. The Bundesliga team is in talks with the PSV on accepting costs, which could be below 22 million pounds sterling which were initially reported. The Belgian international has already agreed with Leverkusen on a five -year agreement.

Fortunately for the Reds, it is not their only option when it comes to replacing Elaga, because the forest is ready to return with their pursuit of Yoane Wissa, but they face the competition from Tottenham Hotspur to secure its signature.

While the Premier League team assesses its attack options, according to Turkish Outlet Sporx, relayed by Sport Witness, Forest and Marinakis have placed an offer of 12 million euros (10 million pounds Sterling) to sign the defender Arseniy Batagov, who was refused by Trabzonspor.

The report indicates that even if Batagov impressed during his stay by Turkish outfit, and that they would ideally like to keep the player, they seek to obtain around 17 million euros, which represents around 15 million pounds sterling, instead of the forest offer of 10 million pounds sterling.

The Reds are not the only team in pursuit of the 23 -year -old man, because Brighton and Hove Albion and Lazio are interested, the Italian side would have made an offer worth 10 million euros, which was again rejected.

Ukraine Under-21 International, which is under contract in Trabzonspor until 2028, the club having an option of one year, played 18 times in the Süper Lig last season, during which he caught a goal and recorded a assist.

The forest already has tastes of Murillo, Nikola Milenkovic, Willy Boly and Morato, to name just a few, in central defense, but Nuno Espirito Santo is obviously eager to strengthen his options more, and the fact that Batagov can play on the back left and in the midfield as well as central meanings that it would bring to the redness to the Reds.
