Nottingham Forest is now targeting a £87m striker who has already netted eight goals this season, indicating Evangelos Marinakis’ ambitious intentions for the club.
Despite a potential reunion with former player Chris Wood, Forest manager Sean Dyche recognizes the need for long-term planning as Wood, now 33, nears the latter stages of his career. The club’s pursuit of FC Porto’s rising star Samu Omorodion demonstrates Marinakis’ commitment to building a competitive squad.
The 21-year-old Omorodion, who has attracted interest from other top English clubs, is valued at €100m (£87m) by Porto, making him a sought-after talent. Forest’s scouts have been closely monitoring his performances, with the belief that he could significantly strengthen Dyche’s team.
Although Forest has faced challenges in the early stages of the season, acquiring a player of Omorodion’s caliber could serve as a bold statement amidst potential relegation concerns. Omorodion’s impressive goal-scoring record at Porto showcases his potential to elevate Forest’s attacking prowess.
As the club vies for Omorodion’s signature, the improvement in their league position remains pivotal in finalizing the deal. The Spaniard’s skill set and ability to perform at the highest level make him an enticing prospect for Forest, signaling a positive step towards enhancing the team’s offensive capabilities.
