Forest looking for new signings amid poor season
Forest exceeded all expectations last season and qualified for the Europa League, but they have failed to progress and currently sit just two points off the table. Premier League In the relegation zone, West Ham United took a point against Manchester United on Tuesday night.
After being eliminated from the FA Cup by Wrexham last month Dash Making it clear he wasn’t entirely happy with some of the current crop of players, he said: “That’s unacceptable to me but I say you have to look in the mirror because it’s unacceptable for the badge as well.
“They all knock on the door and say, ‘Why don’t I play?’. The evidence is certainly there for some, but not for everyone.”
So no matter which tier the Tricky Trees are in, big changes may be in order during the summer transfer window and they have now set their sights on a midfielder after the latest update on Morgan Gibbs-White’s future.
According to SportsBoom, Nottingham Forest now prepared to offer Celtic star Arne Engels more than £30mDyche himself is keen to bring the midfielder to the City Ground.
Forest made three offers for Engels during the January transfer window, all of which were rejected, but they could return with a new and improved offer at the end of the season, such is the level of interest.
Dyche is pushing hard to sign the Belgian, who has now been identified as a top target for the Englishman, with the manager looking to rebuild his midfield in the summer with Gibbs-White’s future in doubt.
‘Outstanding’ Engels could excel at Forest
Brendan Rogers A huge admirer of the 22-year-old, the former Celtic boss was full of praise for his ability in dead-ball situations earlier this season, saying: “I thought Arne was doing a great job in the game.
“Coming back, he gave us energy and fight. His quality from set pieces is truly world-class.”
Although he has often played a deeper role, the four-time Belgium international has regularly shown his ability in the final third this season, contributing five goals and seven assists in 37 appearances for Celtic, while also impressing in the Champions League in the past.
Engels is still young and has plenty of time to develop further, but his performances in Scotland this season suggest he is ready for a move to Nottingham Forest, with a transfer fee of £30 million seeming reasonable.
