Nottingham Forest are reportedly on the verge of securing a significant transfer coup, with Swiss winger Dan Ndoye emerging as a top target. The Premier League side, managed by Steve Cooper, are said to be in advanced talks with Bologna over a deal for the 23-year-old.
Ndoye, who impressed for Switzerland at Euro 2024, has attracted attention from several European clubs following his consistent performances in Serie A. His versatility – capable of playing on either flank or through the middle – makes him an attractive prospect for Forest as they look to add depth to their attacking options.
Why Ndoye Fits Forest's System
The young forward's direct running style and technical ability would complement Cooper's preferred attacking approach. With 6 goals and 4 assists last season, Ndoye demonstrated he can contribute both in creating and finishing chances.
Transfer Fee and Competition
While the exact fee remains undisclosed, sources suggest Forest are prepared to meet Bologna's valuation, believed to be in the region of £15-20 million. The deal could accelerate this week as both clubs look to finalise terms before pre-season preparations intensify.
Should the transfer be completed, Ndoye would become Forest's third major signing of the summer as they aim to build on last season's mid-table finish. The Swiss international's arrival would provide healthy competition for places in Forest's forward line alongside established stars like Brennan Johnson and Morgan Gibbs-White.
