Nottingham Forest deal agreed with Arsenal

Given that Sheffield United is still interested in Joe Worrall leaving and that Jonathan Panzo is scheduled to leave in the coming weeks, it is possible that the Reds are looking for further backup at the defence.
With the benefit of participating in the Champions League the following season, Bologna is reportedly trying to get Mats Hummels, the 35-year-old idol of Borussia Dortmund, to join them for one last game.

If that doesn’t work out, Costa has been brought up as a backup; nonetheless, the Bologna media acknowledges that the Rossoblù will have a difficult time securing their man.
Even if Bologna is able to match Toulouse’s asking price, they will not be able to pay the 23-year-old as much as Toulouse is, according to the local newspaper Il Resto del Carlino.

With Atletico Madrid, Villarreal, and Premier League rivals Fulham reportedly competing for the young player’s signature, Sport Witness reports that Forest will also face substantial obstacles in closing a deal for him.

Costa’s present contract expires in 2026, and Il Resto del Carlino does not indicate which of the clubs, including Forest, he prefers. Though it may be a bit costly for a young player, they estimate that the Reds can purchase him for between €12 million and €18 million.
The young youngster with enormous potential, who was previously connected to Forest earlier in the summer transfer window, is a Cape Verde international who fits the current Forest transfer target profile.
