Nottingham Forest finally agree terms and conditions with dream player few minutes ago…

Nottingham Forest are on the lookout for signings to boost Nuno Espirito Santo’s squad for European football, with one target personally admired by Edu Gaspar.

Whilst Edu doesn’t work for Forest specifically, his links with Evangelos Marinakis’ wider football group have led to plenty of rumours about the Reds signing players with Arsenal links.

Remarkably, Forest were linked with re-signing Nuno Tavares after it was Edu who initially brought him to English football with Arsenal, whilst Edu’s departure from the Gunners has inadvertently helped Forest in another way as Arsenal are no longer interested in signing Igor Jesus.

The ex-director of the North London also looks to be impacting Marinakis’ plans away from Forest as well, helping Marinakis’ push to purchase a Brazilian football club, something Edu was also working on for Arsenal before he left.

Sticking with on-pitch matters, though, Edu looks set to come in handy once more as Forest look set to pursue one of the Brazilian’s long-term Arsenal targets.

Nottingham Forest will push to sign Douglas Luiz in the summer

Forest were linked with Douglas Luiz in January, with the Juventus man seen as perhaps a luxury signing at the time with the likes of Danilo and Ibrahim Sangare returning from injury.

It’s remained no secret that the Italian giants are looking to cash in on the Brazilian midfielder, though, with Tuttosport reporting that Marinakis will return for Luiz in the summer.

The report said: “The team of president Evangelos Marinakis [Forest] had already tried in January, but on that occasion, Juventus did not seem too convinced to let go of the Brazilian midfielder.

“If Douglas were not to be central to the future plans of the Bianconeri, at that point he would be ready to settle elsewhere.
