Nottingham Forest are now preparing a swift move to sign the £25m Championship star
Nottingham Forest are now lining up a move for the “unbelievable” Championship player, and they want to get a deal done quickly.
Vitor Pereira makes plans clear ahead of the transfer window
After being involved in a Premier League relegation battle for large parts of the season, it is vital that Forest find their new hire this summer, and Vitor Pereira has outlined his plans.
“What’s on my mind is that we don’t need to change a lot of players, we need to balance the team,” said Pereira.
“We don’t need a big squad, because if you’re not in European competitions you don’t need a big squad. But we need at least two players of equal quality in each position – that’s something we have to work towards.
“The Europa League was a big inspiration for us, but you don’t have time to work. It’s very difficult to prepare for games because you play every three days.”
“Next season will be a different challenge, I hope we can build something strong and with the same spirit. With more communication, we can improve our level, have confidence and try to be in the best place in the table.
Elliot Anderson could be at the center of one of the sagas of the summer, with the England international set to attract Manchester United and Manchester City.
Should Anderson leave, it will be important for the Tricky Trees to bring in a new midfielder, and Evangelos Marinakis is looking to secure a deal for the championship star soon.
Nottingham Forest are studying the “unbelievable” star’s swift move.
According to TEAMtalk, Nottingham Forest are now preparing for a swift move for Hayden Hackney, following Middlesbrough’s 1-0 defeat to Hull City in the Championship final.
Boro face the Tigers paving the way for Hackney’s exit this summer, with the Championship side willing to shell out £25m, with just one year left on his contract.
A number of rival Premier League clubs are also interested in signing the 23-year-old player, given the quality of his performances in the Championship this season, which saw him compete for the best player award.
Hailed as “unbelievable” by pundit Gabriel Sutton, the Boro star enjoyed a superb Championship campaign, starting 38 games in the regular season.

£25m seems like a fair fee for a player of Hackney’s caliber, and the Englishman has already proven that he could be the perfect replacement for Anderson.
