Nottingham Forest Plans Multiple Premier League Transfers Amid Key Player Departures

Nottingham Forest are actively pursuing several player transfers to rebuild their squad amid key departures this summer. They have renewed their interest in Brentford forward Yoane Wissa, submitting offers around £25 million which Brentford have rejected, valuing Wissa at over £50 million due to his importance following Bryan Mbeumo's likely exit. Wissa's versatility and goal-scoring prowess have attracted attention from Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United as well. To replace Anthony Elanga, who is set to join Newcastle in a £55 million deal, Forest have made approaches for PSV Eindhoven's Johan Bakayoko and Benfica's Kerem Akturkoglu, with the latter valued at around £39 million and preferred by the player to join Galatasaray. Additionally, Forest are preparing a bid of around €10 million for Hellas Verona's right-back Jackson Tchatchoua amidst competition from clubs like Galatasaray, Marseille, Fiorentina, and Torino. These transfer moves reflect Forest's strategic efforts to strengthen their squad following significant summer changes, including the managerial shift with Thomas Frank moving to Tottenham.
