Overview
- Head coach Sean Dyche confirmed a striker is the priority this month, saying Forest are assessing options in a difficult winter market.
- Forest’s shortage up front follows Arnaud Kalimuendo’s loan to Eintracht Frankfurt, with Chris Wood sidelined after knee surgery and Taiwo Awoniyi out of favour, leaving Igor Jesus to lead the line.
- Norwich City’s Josh Sargent is among the forwards being looked at, according to The Telegraph, drawing angry reactions from some Forest supporters.
- Sargent made himself unavailable for Norwich’s FA Cup tie, and Philippe Clement said there would be consequences and stated the player will not leave this window.
- Forest are weighing several alternatives, with local reporting citing interest in Youssef En-Nesyri, Evan Ferguson, Jorgen Strand Larsen and Mehdi Taremi.
