Nottingham Forest are expected to be busy this summer, with a striker topping their wishlist. However, upgrades across the pitch are also on the agenda to ensure Nuno Espírito Santo has a squad capable of competing in both the Premier League and Europe.
While a forward is the main priority, Forest are also eyeing reinforcements in other areas. Andreas Pereira has been linked as a creative option to complement Morgan Gibbs-White, while left-back Adrien Truffert is reportedly being considered to support Neco Williams. These potential signings would come at a cost, so news of a quality free agent becoming available will surely catch the attention of Evangelos Marinakis.
Angel Gomes Confirms Lille Departure
England international Angel Gomes has officially announced his departure from Lille, potentially opening the door for a move to the Premier League. The 24-year-old midfielder has previously been linked with Forest, a connection partly fueled by his friendships with Morgan Gibbs-White and Anthony Elanga.
In a heartfelt Instagram farewell, Gomes said:
“After four unforgettable years at LOSC Lille, it’s time for me to say goodbye. This club has been more than just a team — it’s been a family, a home, and a place that has shaped me both on and off the pitch… I always gave everything I had for the badge and for all of you. Lille will always have a special place in my heart.”
While Gomes clearly holds Lille close, his performances have attracted interest from top clubs across Europe. If Forest want to secure his signature, they’ll need to act quickly. His arrival could be a game-changer in midfield, especially as a partner for Elliot Anderson.
Gomes Could Complete Forest’s Midfield Puzzle
Although Ibrahim Sangare has shown promising form recently, Forest have struggled to find a consistent midfield partner for Anderson throughout the season. Gomes could be the answer, with his technical skillset and vision making him an ideal fit to complement Anderson’s style of play. His addition would offer balance and creativity to a midfield that’s lacked consistency.
