VfB Stuttgart were successful in retaining Serhou Guirassy despite Nottingham Forest’s efforts to try and sign him in the last window.
On August 3rd, Bild reported the Tricky Trees had shown interest in the 27-year-old. Later that month, Kicker stated he was keen on making a switch to England as the Premier League side were aiming at a double deal involving the striker and Borna Sosa.
Nottingham Forest were unable to carry out the deal for the striker after he decided to stay at the Bundesliga side. This has been covered by the player himself during an interview with Bild.
Steve Cooper’s side could be presented with another opportunity to sign the player next summer, when his €20m release clause will come into effect.
Bild asked the Guinea international if he dreams of playing in the Premier League one day.
“Not exactly a dream. But if there is an option to move to the Premier League at some point, why not? But it’s not like I dream about it every day,” Guirassy explained.
Nottingham Forest will be delighted to know that he hasn’t closed the door to move to England.
Guirassy has 11 goals and two assists from six games and should he continue to shine this season, there could be more clubs looking at the possibility of signing him in the upcoming windows.
