The dust is still settling on Anthony Elanga’s £55m move to Newcastle United, but Nottingham Forest are wasting no time in the transfer market! Reports today confirm that PSV Eindhoven’s Johan Bakayoko is Nuno Espirito Santo’s top target to replace the Swedish star. With Forest banking a hefty profit from Elanga’s sale, the club is eyeing the 22-year-old Belgian winger, who could be available for around £30m due to his soon-to-expire contract. Join Wolfie as he breaks down the latest on this exciting transfer saga and what it means for Forest’s attacking lineup.
Wolfie dives deep into Johan Bakayoko’s profile, comparing him to Elanga’s pace, flair, and counter-attacking threat. Bakayoko, a long-term Forest target, shone at PSV with his goal-creating actions and dynamic wing play, but can he match Elanga’s 6.65 crosses per 90 minutes and Premier League-proven output? With interest from other European clubs and Forest’s need for two new wingers, the race is on to secure the Belgian star. Wolfie shares his thoughts on whether Bakayoko is the perfect fit and how Edu Gaspar’s appointment as global head of football operations could give Forest an edge in negotiations.
What do you think about Johan Bakayoko as Elanga’s replacement? Can he fill the void left by the Swedish speedster, or should Forest look elsewhere?
