Nottingham Forest have launched a move to try and sign a new striker in January, it has emerged, and they have already had a response.
Nottingham Forest still pursuing a striker
Nuno Espírito Santo’s side have enjoyed an excellent start to the 24/25 Premier League campaign, even with a defeat to Newcastle United in their most recent outing leaving them fifth in the Premier League at the quarter stage, after they had been as high as third.Now well beyond a traditional purple patch, the 32-year-old has emerged as one of the top flight’s most lethal marksmen, and accounts for over 50% of Forest’s goals this season so far.

However, they remain keen to sign an alternative striker to provide cover and competition for the ex-Newcastle man, with the reliable John Percy explaining: “I think a striker has got to be the priority.”
“They obviously looked in the summer and sort of rained back a bit and thought, let’s just wait, which we’ve all said at the time was another sign of the evolution of the club and maturity. But I think that’s going to be the number one priority.”
Now, they appear to be trying to land one ahead of the January transfer window.
Behind Arsenal and Chelsea only on goal difference, the Garibaldi have been spearheaded by the form of New Zealand striker Chris Wood, who has found the net a mammoth eight times and has the best conversion rate of any striker in the Premier League since Nuno arrived
