GOOD NEWS: Fabrizio Romano reveal Nottingham Forest are the BIG favourite to Land permanent Transfer Deal of 27yr Old EFL veteran Striker with 17 Goal scored last Season.
Despite playing a pivotal role in Southampton’s promotion to the Premier League through the playoffs, scoring 17 goals in 46 appearances during the 2023/24 season, the club could not secure a new contract with Scottish international Che Adams as his existing deal expires this month.
With top-flight experience under his belt, Adams has garnered interest from several clubs, including Wolves, Everton, and Leeds United. However, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Nottingham Forest has now emerged as the frontrunner to sign the 27-year-old forward on a free transfer.
Forest finds themselves in a precarious financial situation, potentially facing breaches of the Premier League’s profit and sustainability regulations. The club may need to offload players before the June 30th deadline, with several names like Morgan Gibbs-White, a reported target for Tottenham, being linked with exits.
In this context, pursuing free transfers and loan deals becomes a favorable option for Forest. Their interest in Adams aligns with their current financial constraints, as he could provide competition for strikers Chris Wood and Taiwo Awoniyi at the City Ground next season without a transfer fee.
With 124 Premier League appearances to his name, the Southampton star aims to finalize his next move before the start of the European Championships, which kick off in just over a week’s time.
