Nottingham Forest are among the clubs chasing PSV Eindhoven’s Johan Bakayoko this summer.
Earlier this week, we covered claims from the Dutch press that AFC Bournemouth have serious interest in the winger. It was also stated Nottingham Forest are in the mix.
PSV Inside, a website dedicating its coverage to the Dutch club, now provide the latest on Nottingham Forest.
On Friday, the Premier League club sold Anthony Elanga to Newcastle United. His exit can see them look for a replacement and the report now state Bakayoko is a ‘serious option’ for Nottingham Forest.
Bayer Leverkusen are edging closer towards signing PSV’s Malik Tillman and also have the Belgium international on their agenda. The outlet states Erik ten Hag’s side have now stepped up their efforts to sign the 22-year-old.
PSV Inside have found out from a source close to this case about Nottingham Forest and the Bundesliga club’s interest. Nuno Espírito Santo’s side have been warned that they will face tough competition from Bayer Leverkusen.
‘The only thing I know at the moment is that Nottingham Forest are very interested, but Bakayoko’s agent said that Bayer Leverkusen is the most concrete and wants to act quickly, a source said.
Bakayoko scored 12 goals and registered three assists last season.
