BEST SIGNING EVER;Nottingham Forest has finally signed their dream player

Nottingham Forest are ramping up their efforts to sign a new striker this month and it’s never dull as the transfer window winds to a close on Trentside.

Yesterday, Forest were linked with two new strikers – with Arsenal star Eddie Nketiah being joined by Feyenoord talisman Santiago Gimenez on the shortlist.

Fabrizio Romano claimed in the morning that Forest wanted Gimenez and had seen a first bid rejected by the Eredivisie outfit.

Then, later in the evening David Ornstein suggested Forest wanted to sign Eddie Nketiah and were instead prioritising a deal for him.

But, which player is actually being prioritised by Forest this summer as the club bids to complete their squad with a little more firepower?

Which striker Nottingham Forest will make their top target

Forest aren’t leaving any stone unturned this summer and it looks like a striker is now right at the top of the club’s shortlist. But, which one…

We asked HITC Football’s transfer expert Graeme Bailey who he believes is the number one striker that Forest want and he’s delivered a defiant response.

He told Nottingham Forest News: “Eddie Nketiah is an option for Forest but I am told that Santiago Gimenez is their top target, but they know getting him is not easy, there is interest from around Europe and it’s not an easy deal to finalise – but they do want him.”

Gimenez bagged 26 goals last season for Feyenoord and has already scored four goals during 2024/25 – bagging two in four minutes during a 5-1 win over PEC Zwolle at the weekend.

Gimenez is probably a safer risk than Nketiah

Given that the Mexican is only 23 and has been scoring for fun – albeit in the Eredivisie – he’s a striker that more fans would likely get behind.
