So I wouldn’t be entirely optimistic about this one. Sometimes Forest will have to concede that they can’t match some of the more established PL clubs wages-wise. He would be expensive - which is not necessarily a problem, but there are other clubs interested in him, too. Amadou Onana is one at Lille: 20-year-old Belgium international, 6ft 5in, big and athletic. It’s a double swoop on Huddersfield (have Eva’s Grill got enough fireworks?).īut there are lots of others being looked at, too. We did the story recently about Forest wanting to sign Harry Toffolo among wing-back targets and it’s also true about Lewis O’Brien. There are all sorts of ifs and buts but, as it stands, I would be reasonably positive.
Bruno Lage probably wants to speak to Gibbs-White and watch him, similar to Manchester United, Ten Hag and James Garner. But it’s complicated and, if this one does happen, I’d be surprised if it is quick. It’s like buying a house: there’s a chain sometimes and you have to agree the money and hope everything falls into place. Gibbs-White is attracting a lot of interest (Photo: James Williamson – AMA/Getty Images)
