BEST SIGNING EVER; Nottingham Forest has signed their dream player suddenly

Nottingham Forest are the latest Premier League side to be linked with a move for struggling Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz in the January transfer window, according to updates on Wednesday evening.

Despite joining the Bianconeri for a €50m fee in the summer transfer window, the Brazilian has struggled to cement a spot in Thiago Motta’s starting line-up, and could potentially be allowed to leave this month in order to clear up space in the club’s budget for new arrivals.

Nottingham Forest step forwards for Douglas Luiz

According to transfer expert Matteo Moretto, Nottingham Forest are the latest side to come forward for the 26-year-old.

Forest are currently enjoying a title-challenging campaign under Nuno Espirito Santo, and currently sit in third place in the Premier League standings, level on points with Arsenal in second and six off Liverpool at the summit.

Nottingham Forest have confirmed the departure of Aaron Donnelly. The 21-year-old defender has joined Dundee on a three-and-a-half year deal for an undisclosed fee. The Northern Ireland international spent last season on loan with the SPL club.

“I am absolutely delighted to be back at the club,” he said. “As soon as I knew there was interest, it was a no-brainer to come back. My time here was excellent last season, really successful and I hope to pick up where I left off.

Donnelly had been on loan at Colchester United since August, being recalled to Forest before leaving the City Ground for Scotland.

Forest’s head of academy Chris McGuane added: “We would firstly like to thank Danny Cowley and Colchester for their co-operation and treatment of Aaron since he joined them earlier this season. His game has reached another level this year and he now has an opportunity to continue his development playing top division football.
