Nottingham Forest targets Yoane Wissa, plans bid

As the January transfer window approaches its deadline, Nottingham Forest is focusing on securing a new striker, with Matheus Cunha and Yoane Wissa as primary targets. Forest initially pursued Cunha with a club-record bid, but his preference for Arsenal complicates the deal. Meanwhile, Brentford's valuation of Wissa at around £40 million has reignited Forest's interest, especially after a £22 million bid was previously rejected. Head coach Nuno Espirito Santo remains cautious, emphasizing the need for 'special' players that fit well within the squad. So far in the window, Forest has only re-signed goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey, highlighting their focus on keeping key players rather than extensive recruitment. With tough matches ahead, securing a reliable backup for top scorer Chris Wood remains a priority for the club as they aim for European qualification.
