Nottingham Forest set to sign "brilliant" midfielder in out-of-window move

Nottingham Forest are now poised to sign a “brilliant” midfielder in an out-of-window move, with an announcement expected imminently.

More changes expected at Forest despite transfer window closing

The transfer window came to a close on Monday evening, and Forest are likely to be happy with the business they’ve done, with Evangelos Marinakis spending heavily to ensure Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are competitive once again this season.

The Tricky Trees were particularly busy on deadline day, securing the signings of two full-backs in the form of Cuiabano and Oleksandr Zinchenko, while also bringing in winger Dilane Bakwa from Strasbourg.

With Bakwa joining, you would perhaps expect Marinakis to have sanctioned the departure of fellow winger Jota Silva, but there have now been suggestions the owner cost the Portuguese forward his dream move to Sporting CP.

As such, Jota is continuing to explore his options, and there are more changes expected at The City Ground, despite the transfer window ending, with Taiwo Awoniyi thought to be attracting attention.

Not only that, but there is also a new arrival expected in the very near future, with a report from Football Insider revealing Nottingham Forest have now agreed an out-of-window deal to sign Rangers midfielder Blaine McClure.

An announcement is expected imminently, with McClure set to move to The City Ground on a loan deal to begin with, with a view to joining permanently at some point in the future.

Just 18-years-old, the starlet is regarded as an exciting young talent by national side Northern Ireland and Rangers, but he is set to be a part of the youth set-up at Forest to begin with.

"Brilliant" McClure is one for the future

Given that the Northern Irishman is yet to make a first-team appearance for Rangers, he is unlikely to be a part of Nuno’s plans anytime soon, but there are signs he could be an exciting long-term addition to the squad.

Former Linfield player Glenn Ferguson spoke particularly fondly of the central midfielder during their time working together at the Northern Irish club, saying he has a “brilliant attitude”, before also adding: “I always call Blaine the ‘wee old man’. He is small in stature but has a massive heart.

ByDominic Lund Sep 3, 2025

“And when you see him playing, some of the tackles would scare you. He is afraid of nobody and he can dictate games with the way he gets on the ball and makes things happen.”

Given that McClure has just 13 senior appearances to his name, which came on loan at Scottish League One side Kelty Hearts last season, he is almost certainly some way off first-team level at a club like Forest, but he clearly has plenty of potential.

Duílio vê Cuca 'massacrado' no Corinthians e explica decisão do treinador

Após Cuca anunciar sua decisão de deixar o comando técnico do Corinthians, o presidente do clube alvinegro, Duílio Monteiro Alves, classificou a pressão de parte da torcida corintiana, fundamental para a decisão do treinador, como massacre. O mandatário disse que Cuca vinha oscilando desde que chegou ao Parque São Jorge.

– A gente vem conversando desde o anúncio dele com os fatos que foram incorridos. Para mim foi um massacre em cima dele. Ele oscilou bastante neste momento.

A contratação de Cuca vinha dividindo a torcida corintiana devido a condenação por atentado ao pudor com uso de violência contra uma garota de 13 anos, em 1987, quando ele ainda era jogador e defendia o Grêmio em uma excursão à cidade de Berna, capital da Suíça.

– Foi uma decisão do Cuca, ele resolveu hoje que não aguenta mais esse tipo de pressão, massacre que está sofrendo. Infelizmente ele não aguentou mesmo a gente pedindo, insistisse que ficasse. Mas tudo tem limites, entender o momento que ele e a família passam, a gente aceitou isso – comentou o mandatário.

Duílio assegurou que a saída do treinador de 59 anos não deixou a diretoria aliviada e valorizou o trabalho feito por ele durante a semana no CT Joaquim Grava.

– Não, estou decepcionado, lamentando ter perdido o Cuca. É um profissional excelente, poderia nos ajudar, hoje com a classificação, o que ele já fez essa semana lá dentro. Todos sabem da competência dele como treinador. Perder um treinador desse não é bacana, temos que resolver e trazer um outro, nesse nível ou melhor – concluiu Duílio.

O próximo compromisso do Corinthians é o clássico contra o Palmeiras. O Dérbi, válido pela terceira rodada do Brasileirão, será disputado no sábado (29), às 18h30, no Allianz Parque. A ideia da diretoria alvinegra é ter um novo profissional até o clássico.

Perfect for Wissa: Nottingham Forest ready offer for "special" £25m talent

Nottingham Forest are ready to take their transfer business to the next level this summer.

Nuno Espirito Santo will lead the club into European competition for the first time this century. As such, players who can star in this environment must be signed.

The City Ground side have earmarked Brentford forward Yoane Wissa as someone who could add plenty to the team next term. Santo saw a bid rejected in January, but it looks as though he is ready to renew that pursuit, despite rival interest from Tottenham Hotspur.

With Morgan Gibbs-White seemingly closing in on his own move to Spurs – albeit with there having been a significant bump in the road on that deal – Santo will need to sign a replacement.

Nottingham Forest transfer news

With another attacking midfielder now required due to Gibbs-White’s potential departure, it appears as though Santo is targeting a Manchester City starlet.

According to the Telegraph, Forest are ready to make a formal offer for James McAtee, having established contact with the club.

This bid is reportedly going to be around £25m, although that falls short of the £42.5m that Pep Guardiola seemingly values his player.

McAtee is a wanted man. West Ham United are also keen, while several Bundesliga outfits are also looking to sign him.

Manchester City's James McAtee.

He would be an excellent signing for Forest, especially if they can also land Wissa this summer.

Why Nottingham Forest should sign James McAtee

Last season, Wissa scored an impressive tally of 20 goals for the Bees in all competitions, while registering five assists in the process.

Able to play off either flank or as a centre-forward, the 28-year-old would give Santo plenty of options next season.

If he had a player like McAtee operating behind him in an attacking midfield role, Wissa would surely thrive at Forest, with the England U21 star a real creative spark when at his best.

Indeed, in City’s youth ranks, the left-footer registered 19 assists in 52 games for the U23s. On the international scene, meanwhile, McAtee was also a central figure as the Young Lions romped to European Championship glory this summer, having registered two assists and averaged 1.7 key passes per game, as per Sofascore.

Via Sofascore

The 22-year-old only played 27 times for City throughout 2024/25, scoring seven goals. Despite his lack of consistent gametime, the youngster did show flashes of his class.

He scored a hat-trick against Salford in the FA Cup, while also finding the net in the Champions League.

Is it time for a fresh start, however? Guardiola did label the Englishman as a “special player” after his three-goal performance against Salford, but the time is right to spread his wings.

During his loan spell with Sheffield United in the 2023/24 campaign, McAtee ranked in the top 10% for successful take-ons (1.63) per 90 in the top flight, along with ranking in the top 11% for carries into the penalty area per 90 (0.89) when compared to his peers.

These statistics prove just how effective he can be, especially by taking on his opposite man and bringing the ball into the box.

Wissa would thrive on those chances created by McAtee, without a shadow of a doubt. If he were able to score another 19 Premier League goals next season, this time for Forest, Santo would be a happy man.

Everything may rest on whether the club can seal the signature of McAtee.

Eze will love him: Arsenal submit first bid to sign £50m ex-Spurs player

Slowly and then all at once would be one way to describe Arsenal’s summer thus far.

While their rivals were making signing after signing last month, Mikel Arteta’s side appeared rather sluggish, going back and forth between Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko without making much progress towards either one.

However, over the last week or so, things have begun to change, with Kepa Arizabalage through the door, Christian Norgaard’s arrival feeling like a matter of time, and an avalanche of reports linking the club to Crystal Palace superstar Eberechi Eze.

Eberechi Eze for Crystal Palace.

Furthermore, Andrea Berta and Co appear intent on bringing in more Premier League talent this month, with reports now linking the club to someone who could be a dream teammate for Eze.

Arsenal target Premier League stars

While Arsenal are more than happy to shop abroad, the club are also no stranger to picking up players from closer to home, and so far this summer, they have been linked with several Premier League stars, like Morgan Rogers and Anthony Elanga.

Transfer Focus

Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.

The former was superb for Aston Villa last season, racking up a tally of 14 goals and 15 assists in 54 games, but such a great campaign has seen his price tag soar, and reports have suggested he could cost the Gunners as much as £70m.

Likewise, Elanga once again proved his worth for Nottingham Forest in 24/25, racking up 18 goal involvements in 43 games, which in turn has seen his potential price tag reach £60m.

However, there is another, slightly cheaper, but still exciting Premier League attacker who is reportedly in the Gunners’ sights this summer: Noni Madueke.

At least that’s according to a recent report from Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg, which reaffirms that Arsenal are very much interested in the Chelsea star.

The report goes a step further, though, claiming that the North Londoners are now in talks with the dynamic winger, having submitted their contract offer to the player, who is valued at close to £50m, according to other reports. What makes this move doubly interesting is that the player actually spent time in the Spurs academy as a youngster.

It could be a costly and complicated transfer to get over the line, but given Madueke’s ability and potential, it might be one worth fighting for, especially as he could be a perfect teammate for Eze.

Why Eze would love Madueke

So, it might be somewhat simplistic, but one of the reasons Eze might love to play with Madueke is down to his output, as that’s what’s going to help the Palace star’s own goal and assist numbers.

For example, despite not always being one of the first names on the teamsheet at Chelsea last season, the exciting winger was still able to amass a decent haul of 11 goals and five assists in 2589 minutes of football, spread across 44 appearances.

That means the 23-year-old averaged a goal or assist every 161.81 minutes for the Blues, which isn’t too bad at all, and substantially better than Gabriel Martinelli’s average of a goal involvement every 222.75 minutes and even better than Leandro Trossard’s average of one every 172.75 minutes.

On top of being a fairly reliable scorer and provider of goals, the “unbelievable” forward, as dubbed by former manager Mauricio Pochettino, has also got some brilliant underlying numbers to his name, including some that would be music to Eze’s ears.

For example, FBref places him in the top 1% of attacking midfielders and wingers in Europe’s top five leagues for progressive carries and carries into the penalty area, the top 4% for touches in the opposition’s penalty area and many more, all per 90. With those qualities in mind, it’s hardly a surprise that some within the game have said that he’s “very similar to Saka.”

Now, those three statistics could be particularly important for the Eagles ace, as they suggest the Chelsea man is truly elite at getting the ball into seriously dangerous areas, which in turn could result in better and more chances for his teammates.

Ultimately, from his output to what’s going on under the hood, Madueke looks like someone who could explode in the right environment, and therefore, we reckon he’d be an incredible teammate for Eze at Arsenal.

Leeds now make approach over deal for "clinical" 143 career-goal striker

Leeds United have now made contact with the representatives of a “clinical” striker who has 88 Premier League goals to his name, according to a report.

Leeds stepping up pursuit of new striker

Joel Piroe was the top scorer in the Championship in the 2024-25 season, netting 19 goals, while also showcasing his creative talents by picking up seven assists, but there are doubts over whether the Dutchman should be selected to lead the line in the Premier League.

Piroe has no experience in the top flight, having spent the majority of his career in the second tier, and the Whites are now stepping up their pursuit of a new striker, identifying several potential options from across Europe.

Contact has been made over a deal for Hamburg striker Davie Selke, while Daniel Farke’s side are also in the race for AC Milan striker Tammy Abraham, who, of course, has experience in the Premier League from his time with Chelsea.

AC Milan'sTammyAbrahamreacts after the match

According to a report from Leeds Live, however, Leeds have now made an approach for a striker with a more recent track record of success in the top flight, namely Newcastle United’s Callum Wilson, having made contact to discuss a deal with the Englishman’s representatives.

The Whites are said to hold a genuine interest in Wilson, who joined Newcastle from AFC Bournemouth for a fee of £20m, but is now in line to leave on a free transfer when his contract expires this summer.

The Newcastle marksman isn’t the only option on the shortlist, however, with Farke’s side exploring a number of different options, as the manager looks to rebuild his squad ahead of their return to the Premier League next season.

A better signing than Phillips: Leeds eye move for "phenomenal" £10m star

Leeds United should prioritise this phenomenal signing over attempting to bring back Kalvin Phillips to Elland Road.

2 ByKelan Sarson Jun 3, 2025 "Clinical" Wilson has solid track record in the Premier League

Prior to Alexander Isak’s arrival at St. James’ Park, the former Bournemouth man was the main man for Newcastle in attack, and he netted 18 Premier League goals during the 2022-23 campaign, during which Isak struggled with injury setbacks.

The Coventry-born striker has 88 top-flight goals to his name and 143 total for club and country, so his vast experience could be of great use to a Leeds side whose primary goal will undoubtedly be avoiding relegation next season.

Such is the 33-year-old’s attacking prowess, he was once lauded as “clinical” by The Athletic’s Chris Waugh, and if he is able to rediscover his previous form, he could be an excellent addition to Farke’s squad this summer.

That said, there will be concerns over the fact that Wilson has struggled with injuries in recent times, being sidelined for 29 games during the 2024-25 campaign, which meant he managed to score just one goal in all competitions across the entire season.

Talks planned: Chelsea set to make contact over "unbelievable" £90m PL star

Chelsea are now set to make contact over a move for an “unbelievable” Premier League player ahead of a potential summer move, according to a report.

Blues set sights on new forwards

With a potential Champions League campaign on the horizon next season, the Blues are keen on bolstering their attacking options in the upcoming transfer window, and a new winger is believed to be of interest.

Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho is one of the players in the west Londoners’ sights, and there is a belief the Argentine would be keen on a move to Stamford Bridge this summer, despite interest from Spanish giants Atlético Madrid.

AC Milan’s Rafael Leao is another option on the shortlist, with Enzo Maresca’s side making contact over a deal for the Portugal international earlier this week, and there are suggestions that a £64m offer could be enough to get a deal over the line.

Fabrizio Romano: Chelsea now want to sign £50m star "by the end of May"

The reliable journalist says BlueCo want a deal done as soon as possible.

ByEmilio Galantini May 10, 2025

Despite having talisman Cole Palmer at his disposal, there have also been indications that Maresca could be keen on a new attacking midfielder this summer, and there has now been an update on the Blues’ pursuit of a Premier League star.

According to a report from GiveMeSport, Chelsea are now planning to make contact with both Aston Villa and Morgan Rogers to assess whether the attacker would be keen on making a move to Stamford Bridge at the end of the season.

Fulham's Sander Berge in action with Aston Villa'sMorganRogers

There is an admiration of the development Rogers has undergone this season, which means Maresca’s side are weighing up whether to make a formal bid for his services, but a deal could be on the expensive side.

Villa have set an asking price of £90m for the 22-year-old, and it is currently unclear how feasible a transfer will be, given that he remains contracted until 2030, which puts Unai Emery’s side in a strong negotiating position.

Rogers could be "unbelievable" signing for Chelsea

With the Premier League campaign approaching its climax, the Villans are set to rival Chelsea for a Champions League spot, and Rogers has been one of their most important players, picking up eight goals and 10 assists.

Agent Hesham Bilal-Hafiz has also heaped praise upon the Villa star, given his technical and dribbling ability, which was on show against Manchester City earlier in the campaign.

Rogers could be a fantastic addition for Chelsea this summer, but they will surely need to secure Champions League qualification to stand a chance of sealing a deal, given that the Englishman has proven himself in Europe’s elite competition this season.

Ange upgrade: Spurs make contact to land Poch 2.0 who's "one of the best"

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou is on borrowed time, with tonight’s Europa League quarter-final second leg against Eintracht Frankfurt vital for his future.

The Aussie has the opportunity to end a dismal season on a high by claiming European glory, which would undoubtedly allow supporters to forget about their lowly league standing.

The Lilywhites currently occupy 15th place in the Premier League, with their only hope of securing another season in Europe coming down to any triumph in this season’s Europa League.

Tottenham Hotspur manager AngePostecoglou

His side come into the clash level with the Bundesliga outfit after a 1-1 draw in North London seven days ago, with Pedro Porro scoring the goal to ensure they enter the second leg level.

Make or break is a phrase you could describe tonight’s meeting as, with rumours rapidly building over a deal to land a new manager should the 59-year-old fail to deliver later on this evening.

An update on Spurs’ hunt to replace Postecoglou

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola has been high up on the hierarchy’s list to replace Postecoglou should he get sacked between now and the end of the season.

The Spaniard has led the Cherries to 8th place in England’s top-flight, potentially securing the side European football – an incredible feat for a side who are punching way above their weight.

However, it’s been reported this week that the 42-year-old has held positive talks with the Bournemouth hierarchy over extending his stint at the Vitality.

Such a decision would be a huge blow to the Lilywhites’ pursuit of landing the manager, potentially needing to target alternatives to replace Ange should he depart.

It appears they’ve wasted no time, with TEAMtalk claiming that the hierarchy will make contact with Brentford over a deal to land manager Thomas Frank during the summer.

The Dane has a £10m buyout clause in his deal at the Bees, with the club willing to trigger such a price tag during the off-season ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.

Brentford boss Thomas Frank

Why Frank would be an upgrade on Ange and become Poch 2.0

Mauricio Pochettino is arguably Spurs’ best manager in recent memory, with the decision to sack him back in 2019 undoubtedly a huge mistake by the hierarchy.

The Argentine was appointed as the club’s manager in the summer of 2014, arriving from Southampton and exceeding the expectations of all supporters during his five-year stint at the helm.

The 53-year-old achieved a 55% win rate during his tenure, notching a record of 1.8 points per game, helping the club reach the Champions League final back in the 2018/19 season.

In his five full seasons in charge, he did a superb job, with his lowest league finish being 5th place during his maiden year, with a Champions League finish a distant dream for supporters in the present day.

Touted Chelsea managerMauricio Pochettino

However, 10 years on from Poch’s appointment, the club could land the next version of the Argentine in the form of Frank, who could follow suit by taking his biggest step in his career by moving to Spurs from a less established top-flight outfit.

When comparing the Dane to current boss Postecoglou, Frank has massively outperformed him, showcasing why he would be an upgrade on the Aussie in North London.

The Bees boss, who’s been labelled “one of the best in the world” by one analyst, has picked up more Premier League wins than Ange this season, subsequently achieving a higher points per game average.

He’s also led the side to a higher league standing, doing so whilst having nearly a £100m lower net spend throughout the 2024/25 season – highlighting the impressive job he’s done on a budget.

From the stats mentioned, it’s evident that Frank would be a huge upgrade on Postecoglou, potentially being the man to catapult the wide back towards the hunt for a Champions League spot.

If he were to be appointed over the summer and get anywhere near the levels achieved by Poch, he would go down in the club’s history forever, with his £10m buyout potential a bargain if he can take the club back to where they belong.
