It may be a busy summer for the Reds as they look to tweak Nuno Espirito Santo’s squad. Incomings and outgoings are on the cards now that the transfer window is officially open. Nottingham Forest target ‘to assess options’ as £20 million Arsenal link emerges. Latest news on Nottingham Forest as Reds target summer deals to strengthen Nuno Espirito Santo’s squad. Nottingham Forest are said to be keen on winger Reiss Nelson, but the Arsenal man would not come cheap.
It is anticipated that strengthening Nuno’s alternatives at the top of the pitch, including out wide, will be a priority. Nelson is reportedly on Forest’s radar as they attempt to accomplish that, according to The Athletic.

The 24-year-old reportedly informed the Gunners that he “wants to assess his options” in relation to a possible summer transfer. It appears that he has plenty of suitors.
Apart from the Reds, the former England Under-21 international is reportedly attracting interest from Crystal Palace, Fulham, and West Ham United. According to reports, Arsenal has put a £20 million price tag—including add-ons—on his head.
Nelson rose through the ranks with the Gunners and is currently under contract through 2027 with a 12-month option to extend. Earlier in his career, he spent time on loan at Feyenoord and Hoffenheim.
During the previous season, Nelson made 23 appearances for Mikel Arteta’s club in all competitions, but he only managed one Premier League start. In January, attempts to remove him from the Emirates Stadium were met with resistance.
Although wingers Callum Hudson-Odoi and Anthony Elanga were bought by Forest last summer, they are not very strong in this position. Players like Alex Mighten, Josh Bowler, and Emmanuel Dennis are still with the team but may be let go as they attempt to reduce their roster. Hudson-Odoi has also been linked to Tottenham Hotspur after the former Chelsea player enjoyed a successful debut campaign at the City Ground.
