Nottingham Forest rumours 3

31 Aug 2026 21:38:00
Zach Abbott likely to go on loan with option to Southampton.

Morato was more of a threat in the opposing box, with a better xG and xA, while he also completed more long balls per 90 than his compatriot.

The West Ham-linked defender made more tackles, clearances and blocks per 90 than Cunha, while he was also dribbled past less on average too.

He won more ground and aerial duels per 90 too, and lost possession on fewer occasions, although Cunha won more interceptions and committed fewer fouls per 90.



Glasner's treatment of Morato seems misguided, especially considering that he is one of just two Reds centre-backs who are left-footed, and so is comfortable on the left side of a back three.

Hugo Larsson, young MF from Frankfurt, is interesting.

According to Florian Plettenberg, Eintracht Frankfurt are in talks with Nottingham Forest to sign Arnaud Kalimuendo.

Would the Kali deal be used as leverage?

31 Aug 2026 18:04:50
Puerta is a Red.

31 Aug 2026 18:53:06
Off on loan. Are we the new Chelsea?

31 Aug 2026 16:13:48
Hutchinson gone, think God. 37 million for Franz Carr 2.0. Quick, tricky but no end product.

31 Aug 2026 17:44:57
Franz Carr. Good memory. Pretty sure I saw him live and score versus Chelsea many moons ago.

Thought he was amazing... but he wasn't.

31 Aug 2026 18:54:27
Franz, I don't think I've ever watched a player run past three defenders and sky it into row Z more times than him.

01 Sep 2026 15:53:13
As I've been saying, wingers are redundant under OG, hence his move (and Bakwas) was fairly predictable. Lack of joined-up thinking by Mr M, but it's only wasted £70 million, and it's not our money, apparently. ??????????

31 Aug 2026 11:47:47
Finally, we are looking at Marmadashvili (GK) from Liverpool, Jacob Murphy (M, Newcastle who don't want to sell) and Frankfurt central midfielder Hugo Larsson.

31 Aug 2026 12:57:50
Another GK: Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez would be open to the idea of a move to Nottingham Forest, sources have told Football Insider.

The Reds are in the market for a new goalkeeper ahead of Tuesday's 11pm deadline, and Sanchez has been made available by Chelsea.

31 Aug 2026 14:35:54
I hope not, he's awful.

31 Aug 2026 15:23:44
Sanchez is an interesting one, he literally swings from the sublime to clown on a weekly basis. Definitely a decent keeper in there somewhere, but it's whether he could actually settle himself down when he's got a settled defensive unit in front of him. ?

31 Aug 2026 11:42:56
West Ham in for Morato.

31 Aug 2026 12:23:56
Morato is not as bad as people think. He'd be a monster in the Championships. He got the most accurate passes per 90 mins of any Forest player apart from Anderson (more than Murillo) last season.

31 Aug 2026 14:36:39
I'd keep him as backup and loan out Abbott to get match experience.

31 Aug 2026 11:41:22
Rumour: Kalimuendo to Frankfurt deal back on the table.

31 Aug 2026 07:33:31
For the Everton deal for Armstrong - now called off - apparently Aina was part of the deal, with him possibly leaving Forest to Everton.

Would have been a real shame in my view, one of our best players and I’ve always felt like he has real quality (Munoz incoming of course).

30 Aug 2026 19:55:09.
Forest looking to complete three deals before transfer window slams shut.

A new number one GK is being sought to provide a step up from Mats Sels. Giorgi Mamardashvili has been linked but it is thought this might be a smokescreen. If this deal is not possible, the backup is Aaron Ramsdale from Southampton, having been loaned to Newcastle last season.



After Armstrong deal collapsed, the new CM targeted to replace Anderson is Hugo Larsson from Eintract Frankfurt.

Lastly, Forest are back in for Dodo and are confident in getting this over the line before the deadline.

31 Aug 2026 00:45:58
??, you ain't no Guru, that title belongs to our very own Peddling Pete(RedCyclist). ?

31 Aug 2026 09:34:13
There is no step up for Matt Sels, imo; he is a top echelon goalkeeper for us. Which is why I never thought Henderson would ever sign for us. Neither goalkeeper would want to sit on the bench.
By the way, having watched numerous replays, Sels wasn't responsible for Isak's goals.

It was a perfect pass across the box. It's just what world-class players can do.
The spotlight is always on goalkeepers. No one is perfect, though, as shown by Leeds' winner last week. 99 times out of a hundred, Sels would get that.

31 Aug 2026 16:37:32
Dodo deal ain't happening.

30 Aug 2026 14:33:10
Rumor:

Forest are at the front of a long queue for Casado from Barca (Spanish international).

This caught my eye as he is a CM and a RB. If Williams left, we need both a midfielder and a WB.

He's not very tall/big.

30 Aug 2026 20:05:15
Titchy if pix are right. Don't need another with McAtee, also diminutive.

31 Aug 2026 18:17:14
Williams leaving? I bloody hope not. He's been our most consistent player since he signed.

30 Aug 2026 11:22:04
Looking like both the Henderson deal and the Harrison Armstrong one might be difficult to do. Fan power is coming into it. Both clubs are seeing fans threaten protests and stuff. Can't say it's that surprising.

30 Aug 2026 12:02:13
Why we get ourselves into these situations, I dont know. If it means we dont get another midfield player or keeper in, then it will have been a waste of time.

30 Aug 2026 12:13:51
They were also talking to Andre for Corinthians. But they often take a year to settle after moving from South America, and I think Corinthians want him to stay until the end of the Brazil season in December.

If Kalimuendo or Woody are leaving, don't we need a striker too?

30 Aug 2026 20:06:00
Hard to know what's happening with Kali. No sign of him on Saturday.

31 Aug 2026 17:21:05
Glasner said in his presser when asked about Kali and Hutch that some players will have to leave as we can only have a certain number of players in the squad. Woody didn't play either, did he?
