Nottingham Forest are leading the race to sign a striker ahead of the January transfer window.
Chris Wood has been the main contributor for Nottingham Forest in the Premier League so far this season, scoring nine goals in 14 appearances.
The nearest to the New Zealand international is Callum Hudson-Odoi on two goals, with the rest of them sitting on just one goal a piece.
This is a cause for concern, as an injury to Wood could prove fatal as we head into a busy period, making January so important.
Interestingly, it appears as if Nottingham Forest already have their eyes on a striker and are currently in a promising position
Nottingham Forest most interested in signing Yuri Alberto
Reports have suggested that Yuri Alberto is a target for Nottingham Forest, and he’s even expressed his desire to secure a move to the Premier League.
“I have a big dream of playing in Europe. I stayed at Zenit and ended up coming back because I couldn’t compete in European tournaments due to the war. I am very happy here at Corinthians but, if an opportunity arises that benefits both Corinthians and myself, I am open to [leaving].
Now, it’s being claimed that Nottingham Forest are battling Southampton and West Ham.
According to Trivela (as per Sport Witness), Nottingham Forest are the ‘most interested’ team when it comes to the 23-year-old.
Alberto has an €80m (£66m) release clause, but Corinthians would sell him for €30m (£25m).
Yuri Alberto on fire in Brazil
Yuri Alberto has featured 56 times this season, scoring a whopping 30 goals and laying on seven assists.
The Brazilian is bang in form, scoring 10 goals in his last eight league games.
Nottingham Forest are willing to pay the £25 million Corinthians are asking for, so a fee shouldn’t be an issue in the January transfer window.
Murillo could also be another factor, with his rise to stardom in England proving the City Ground is an attractive destination to really prosper in the Premier League.
Nottingham Forest fans have been reacting to news that a Premier League player has just been made available as January approaches.
The January transfer window could prove to be the key to Nottingham Forest securing a place in Europe, as recent games have highlighted a couple of areas for improvement.
A striker and potentially a winger have to be two positions that get looked at in January.
Ramon Sosa has struggled to have much of an impact, albeit he hasn’t been given too many opportunities, whilst Jota Silva has been used in many different positions.
Meanwhile, Chris Wood is the only major provider for Nottingham Forest in the final third, and his back-up, Taiwo Awoniyi, hasn’t looked the same since returning from injury.
Interestingly, it appears as if Nottingham Forest fans have their eyes on a potential signing after hearing who’s been made available.
Harvey Barnes made available by Newcastle United
Harvey Barnes has been a back-up to Anthony Gordon in the Premier League this season.
Despite this, he’s still managed to score four goals and assist one in just five starts, which included an assist at the City Ground in the 3-1 win.
