Nottingham Forest, in true Nottingham Forest fashion, have decided that a few hours before the transfer deadline would be a good time to make a bid for a striker.
That man is Ajax Amsterdam’s Chuba Akpom, who only signed for the Dutch club from Middlesbrough in the summer.
De Telegraaf in Holland have an article on the matter, and claim Nottingham Forest are ‘seriously interested’ in signing the forward before the end of the window.
The Eredivisie side are now said to be faced with a ‘difficult choice’, because they don’t really want to let anyone go at this point, but could also end up making a profit, since Nottingham Forest’s offer is ‘higher’ than what they paid for the player in the summer, which was €14.3m.
It’s said they could end up collecting ‘more than €15m’ from the deal, and only time will tell if they end up accepting it.
Since joining, the former England U21 international has scored nine goals in 20 appearances for Ajax.
