Report: Striker identified as Viktor Gyokeres replacement says yes to joining Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest are looking to add more firepower to their squad this summer.

Igor Jesus will sign for Forest shortly after the Club World Cup, and the Reds don’t look to be stopping there.

Chris Wood bagged 20 goals last season, but at 33-years-old and with Forest in Europe, it feels like a rotation policy will be required during 2025/26.

A host of players will be linked with Forest during the summer window, and it will be up to Nuno Espirito Santo to make sure that the players he gets in are the right ones.

Romulo says yes to Nottingham Forest move

Death, taxes and Nottingham Forest trying to sign a Brazilian player during a transfer window.

Forest are looking towards South American players once again this summer, and now, Romulo appears to have said yes to the Reds, according to CNN Turk.

Romulo played for Turkish outfit Goztepe last season and, after bagging 17 goals, he’s had a number of clubs courting his services this summer.

It’s claimed that amid lots of interest, the interest from Forest is the one that has piqued Romulo’s interest the most, given his desire to play in the Premier League.

Now, the clubs will aim to thrash out a deal ahead of the new season, with Romulo appearing very keen to get this deal done.

Sporting wanted Romulo as Viktor Gyokeres replacement

It feels as though Gyokeres will be heading to the Premier League this summer, with Arsenal and Manchester United both being linked.

Sporting CP will need a replacement for a player who scores as many goals as the Swedish player and the report claims that Romulo was identified as a possible replacement.

Now, it would appear that his heart is set on the Premier League, and it does bode well if the Brazilian was eyed to replace such a large source of goals in Lisbon.

Romulo might be a useful addition to Espirito Santo’s squad and if the price is right, this could prove a very solid addition to the ranks.
