Awoniyi is no longer Forest’s first-choice striker, despite flashes of brilliance in the 2023/2024 season, with Premier LeagueFifth highest scorer Chris Wood is currently way ahead of the Nigerian in the pecking order and Nun Espirito Santo’s love life.
This could potentially free up the possibility of a move for Awoniyi, but at the same time, Nuno will most likely not be interested in losing a capable back-up forward in the middle of the season. Meanwhile, Ferguson faces an uncertain future at Brighton, with Fabian Hurzeler admitting he could leave on a temporary deal.
We will agree on what is important to him, what is important for his development, where he can make the best progress, and then we will make a decision together. he said Hurzeler on Ferguson’s future.
“This decision should be the best for the player and the club. We sent (Facundo) Buonanotte, for example, to Leicester.
“We know that the Premier League is a very good league that needs to be improved, because it is difficult, intense, especially for young players. It’s the perfect environment to adapt to.”
The killer of RB Leipzig Andre Silva is attracting serious interest from West Ham also, according to reports in Germany, so there are many targets that the East Londoners are currently considering, as Steidten and co-chair David Sullivan they are trying to provide Potter with an archer.
Graham Potter is “clear” he wants Jonathan David at West Ham
According to a new report from The Boot Room and journalist Graeme Bailey, Lille is acting Jonathan David is firmly on the personal radar of the West Ham boss.
David, who has scored a brilliant 17 goals and provided six assists so far this campaign, has taken his career total to 169 for club and country together aged just 25.
To make matters even more attractive for the Irons, he is also out of contract at the end of this season – meaning he could leave on a cut-price January deal, agree a pre-contract abroad or decide on his next club at no cost in the summer.
The Canadian international’s expected availability makes him a very attractive option and potentially one of the bargains in 2025. Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea, Newcastle, Aston Villa and Man United are considering an approach for David, as are West Ham.
According to information from TBR, West Ham are ready to make an offer for Davidand Potter has made it “clear” to the club that he wants them to compete for the Brooklyn native’s services.
David is quickly growing his reputation as “world class” centre-forward, and probably what West Ham need. However, they will have to wait until the end of the year to seal his signature for nothing.
