Nottingham Forest are in the mix to sign VfB Stuttgart star Serhou Guirassy, according to Bild.
The Bundesliga side took the striker on loan from Rennes in 2022 and made his stay permanent after he managed 14 goals and two assists from 29 games last season. He played a key role in helping them avoid relegation.
The 27-year-old’s dream is to move to the Premier League, where Nottingham Forest are an option for him.
It’s claimed the Tricky Trees are ‘showing interest’ but will have to convince the French-born Guinea international to acquire his signature.
Bild say ‘more money or not’ the player only wants to join a club where he’ll be the starter and that may not be possible at Nottingham Forest.
Steve Cooper currently has Taiwo Awoniyi, Emmanuel Dennis and Chris Wood as three recognised players who can operate up front.
The other two options for Guirassy is to either join another Bundesliga side or continue at Stuttgart for one more season. The latter, as per the report, is ‘not very likely’.
Guirassy’s deal expires in 2026 and Bild claim he has a release clause between €15m and €20m. Should he be open to joining Nottingham Forest, they can sign him by exercising his clause.
