Ruben Amorim must and should have strikers who score with the utmost naturalness in the world’s toughest league. Several players are as usual linked to Manchester United, according to Daily Mail journalist Chris Weeler, the Red Devils have three strikers on the candidate list who have already delivered between 8 and 13 goals in the Premier League. Now Nottingham Forest are getting ready to remove one from United’s list.
Nottingham Forest started the season at a surprisingly impressive pace. Few left the former relegation candidate a chance in the long run, but as the only club to beat Liverpool this season, Nuno Santo’s side have continued their success, a point with Arsenal in second place and six points ahead of Manchester City after 22 games is impressive.
In previous seasons, we have seen Nottingham Forest hoarding players for fear of relegation, now the club is in a completely different situation, where the course is heading for a Champions League ticket and a straw into UEFA’s prize box. According to Sky Sports, Forest are ready to push the record sum over the table to secure Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton.
The Brazilian has scored 10 Premier League goals for one of the weakest teams of the season. Cunha is on Manchester United’s list of candidates, according to Sky Sports, United can look far for the 25-year-old, who has cracked the code – unlike United’s strikers – in front of opponents’ goals in the Premier League.
Nottingham Forest’s most expensive signing is Elliot Anderson at £35 million, the English media reports Wolverhampton are open to Cunha sales for £60 million.
Forest already have Chris Wood with 14 Premier League goals so far this season. With Cunha in the squad, Nuno Santo will have real power up top. We can sense Ruben Amorim becoming envious.
