Nottingham Forest Eyes Key Signings in the January Transfer Window, Including Yoane Wissa From Brentford, While Preparing for High-Stakes Matches Against Newcastle and Arsenal

Tough Fixtures Ahead for Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest has some tricky matches coming up as they face tough opponents in the Premier League.

They are set to play Newcastle and Arsenal in back-to-back fixtures that could be pivotal for the team’s season.

A Challenging Schedule for Forest

Forest, currently sitting in third place just two points behind Arsenal, are scheduled to head to Newcastle on February 23.

Then, they’ll host Arsenal at the City Ground just two days later.

With Newcastle hot on their heels, only three points behind, these games could prove to be some of the most difficult of their campaign.

A quick turnaround between two high-pressure matches against quality teams will definitely test their resilience.

Transfer News: Forest Eyeing Yoane Wissa

On the transfer front, Nottingham Forest is reportedly keeping a close eye on Brentford’s Yoane Wissa as the January window nears its end.

Wissa has been a standout player this season, contributing 11 goals and 2 assists. His impressive form has caught the attention of several top clubs, and Forest is among those interested in securing his signature.

However, Brentford manager Thomas Frank has made it clear that the club won’t be selling Wissa’s strike partner, Bryan Mbeumo, this month.

That said, there’s a chance they might listen to offers for Wissa.

Forest’s Transfer Strategy Depends on Player Sales

Forest’s pursuit of Wissa is partly dependent on finding a buyer for their own forward, Taiwo Awoniyi.

Currently serving as a backup to top scorer Chris Wood, Awoniyi has attracted interest from West Ham.

If Forest can offload Awoniyi, it could open up the funds necessary to bring in a player like Wissa.

Additionally, Forest is in talks to secure new contracts with several key players, including Wood and defender Ola Aina, whose contracts are set to expire at the end of the season.

They are also eager to ensure that star playmaker Morgan Gibbs-White signs a long-term deal to stay at the club.

In what’s shaping up to be a busy transfer window, Forest will need to navigate both tough matches and player negotiations to continue their strong season.
