‘Confident’: Fabrizio Romano now confirms Nottingham Forest ahead of Wolves and Everton in the transfer chase for top striker.
Wolves might lose one of their top targets to Premier League rivals Nottingham Forest.
Wolves have dropped down the pecking order in the race to recruit Southampton striker Che Adams, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The transfer expert stated on Thursday (June 6) that Nottingham Forest are ‘ahead of Wolves’ after making a revised bid for the Scotland star. Forest is claimed to be ‘confident’ that it will be completed soon and is waiting to sign the deal.
Adams’ contract expired this summer, and he has yet to negotiate a new deal with the Saints. Southampton gained promotion to the Premier League, but he may yet go.
The 27-year-old scored 17 goals in 46 outings for the South Coast club this season and is gearing up for Euro 2024. He scored against Gibraltar in Scotland’s 2-0 win on Monday (June 3), and he may want to consider his future before the tournament begins next week.
Losing Adams would be a significant blow for Gary O’Neil and the Wolves. A new striker is a top priority for the team this summer, and a free transfer would have been a wise decision. Wolves’ transfer market options are restricted this summer, and the admission of O’Neil prevents them from spending’millions’.
If the club wants to make significant changes to their team, they will have to sell some of their marquee players. Matheus Cunha recently revealed that he is pleased at Molineux, while Pedro Neto is attracting interest from other Premier League teams. Wolves are said to value Neto at roughly £60 million.
