Forest sniffing round Tammy Abraham - apparently

Who I’d expect him to be interesting if I’m honest. But I have to qualify that with the fact that I’m not an expert.

If Kamara is injured, he’s basically irreplaceable in terms of his ability, but we will need another body in midfield.
Either Hemmings or we go looking for the next Wharton / Anderson type of player. Given that we bid for Gallagher if seems likely someone will come in to bulk up our midfield options.

One of the reports did say that we had beaten off interest from other clubs by offering him a 4.5 year contract.

I'm considering putting in a Bid for him myself, in the hope that someone might attempt to beat me off.

It would be too much of an ask to continue to blood Bogarde and then broadly look to do the same with Hemmings.

I think barkley and Onana would be fine - we just need them to stay fit for long enough

Hemmings is supposed to be a top talent isn't he? As in, Grealish level prospect?

If that's the case then throw him straight in.

Has anybody explained who we are paying to buy him? He's a Roma registered player, on loan at Besiktas where the option to buy at €11m has been triggered. Therefore, is he essentially now a Besiktas player or still a Roma player? Trying to read between the lines as it seems both clubs want paying. Anybody?

I would seriously struggle to believe he would consider Forest over Villa.
