Nottingham Forest are ‘still looking’ into whether they can afford a deal for PSV Eindhoven midfielder Ibrahim Sangaré before the end of the transfer window.

That’s according to Eindhovens Dagblad, who say Nottingham Forest remain in the race for the player and potential competition have not pushed ahead at this point.

The newspaper explains that the Dutch club are expecting a busy and turbulent end to the transfer window as several clubs eye up players in their first team squad.

At the moment they’re fully focused on qualifying for the Champions League group stages and don’t intend to deal with transfers until they have finished their two-legged play off against Rangers next week.

Once that is sorted it could be a hectic end to the window and there is an acceptance that they ‘cannot say no’ to an of offer €37m for Ibrahim Sangaré.

Nottingham Forest are keen on him and have been ‘for some time’ but are ‘still looking at’ whether they can afford to put such an amount on the table.

Despite their willingness to spend last summer they have been more reserved this year and that’s a big price to pay for the midfielder. It remains a transfer they’re assessing, nonetheless.

The big boost for their potential move is the fact that the other candidates for the player have ‘not yet gone through with it’, suggesting that Forest may at least be at the front of the queue.

That being said, the recent arrival of Andrey Santos on loan from Chelsea might have changed all of this.
